{: Scene-wide Particles FX bench.<p>

   Originally planned for the specials FX, but become a bench due to lack of
   time to improve graphics ;)<br>
   This is quite a brute-force situation for the Particles FX Renderer, two
   systems are present (Red an Blue) but Red contains the bulk of the particles.<p>

   Benchmark results (default win size, "Inferno" mode, ie. approx 7000 particles):<p>
