Scale: Main diameter = 5, neck diameter =1, length = 5+2pi. Initially 498 vertices, finally 378. Initially 992 facets, finally 752. Facet threshold: Eliminated facet if area is less than 1/5 of average of all facets. The facets all vanished at the middle section where the neck used to be.
System: Hewlett Packard HP UX 9000/715. Computation time: About 8 hours, 30 minutes.
