Yeah, the problem here is the way that meshing works - the basic approach is that a smooth surface is continually subdivided into two pieces (repetitively) until each piece matches some kind of tolerance.
So things come in kind of "chunks" - once a surface is split, the new smaller pieces will often times be within a much tighter tolerance so they won't subdivide again until the tolerance is reduced by quite a bit more.
Eventually I should be able to improve this by doing some initial forced subdivision of the surface into more than just 2 pieces at a step, but this may take a while.
