Small point, what happens if you have n < 0 ?

At each level you have a sphere, and also 6 of the next level down.  So 
as you increase the level, you have 6x the number of spheres, which goes 
  up pretty quickly.

This gives you over 6^10 spheres, which is quite a lot (more than 60 
million)!

So not surprising you get problems :)

(for comparison, I have a fractal I wrote in C, with "only" 1 million 
single points, and that takes about 1/2 a second per frame to draw).
