Surprise! I compiled POVRay for Windows with MS VC++ 5.0 SP3 today,
from the unmodified 3.01 sources, and it beat my official 3.02 by 10%
on skyvase, in two different resolutions. The official benchmark
resolution took 193 seconds on the official build, and 174 on my
build, both running on a PII-233 with 64MB of memory and NT 5 Preview
Beta 1.
