Another interesting thing to look at is the environtment you're running. (I'm
gonna get flamed for this, I know...) On my machine (intel 200MMX blablabla),
running windows95 all priority to POV, skyvase.pov render in 4.43 and on the
same machine running Linux it renders in 4.03 (with normal priority) that's a 40
second decrease in rendering time. I haven't tested the speed in DOS but i will,
probably with the result that it's a lot faster than win95.

Anyway, this is just meant to say that CPU isn't everything and the environment
makes quite a big difference. But then again the CPU does make a difference...
