i understand your problem. what you seem to do is : foreach (pixel) :
translate pixel coordinate into complex coordinate
if( not in mandelbrot set) then
draw orbit
end if
end for
you are limited to width*height potential orbits. what you want is : while(true)
get a random complex point
if( not in mandelbrot set) then
translate orbit(in complex cordinate) into orbit(in pixel coordinate)
draw orbit
endif
end loop
now you have an insane amount of different to draw. Because many many orbit may start on the same pixel but have totally different orbits. This is one of the possible solution (we're doing that : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method ) but there is many other possibilities (some are yet to be invented  ) |

Are they the same, but with greater precision/resolution, or do I also need to increase the range? Thanks. |

you can safely choose random complex in thoses boundaries :
realMin = -2.0f;
realMax = 0.75f;
imaginaryMin = -1.5f;
imaginaryMax = 1.5f;

65 minutes, 1 billion orbits, 512 iterations:  Is this about as good as would be expected given the number of orbits and iterations? |

Absolutely  Can you try to skip the rendering of the firsts 10 iterations ? from 10 to 512. |

When I tried the minimum iterations 'trick', I got this sort of thing:  How should I decide the safest minimum iterations to avoid a 'damaged' Buddhabrot? |

Hummm... How many iterations ? And, btw, it doesn't look damaged to me, it looks enhanced |

I think I made the minimum 1/100 of the maximum but I can't remember exactly. Probably max = 1000, min = 10.

Then it make sense. A mandelbrot at 10 iteration : |
