The rendered quality of the spheres is not all that great anyway. The
obvious thing to do would be to render everything using lines (or
perhaps ball and stick), output the view and then, when you are close,
turn cpk on. In a similar vein, just turn cpk on for the important
residues initially, and add more as you get close to the ideal view.
