The Mandelbrot Set

[paolo]

  Kalles Fraktaler and Superfractalthing are wonderful programs which greatly speed up deep zooms. Is it possible to also speed up the Mandelbrot set with a huge number of iterations of say over a million, but which is a relatively shallow zoom of perhaps 10e10? Thank you.

Yes, series approximation can improve renders also on depth from 1 to e13, where ordinary data type double can be used to calculate every pixel the traditional way. But perturbation adds some overhead and makes it a little slower. So in the end I think it is the same speed.
