Some additional numbers for the skyvase benchmark presented by Mark:

Xeon 400 MHz with 512MB RAM (Dell Precisions 610 WS)
Operating System; NT Workstation v4 SP3

POV: 3.1b4
time: 1min 53 sec

POV: 3.02 (standard release)
time: 1min 45 sec

POV: 3.01 PII optimized VC++ v5 compile by Steven Pigeon
time: 1 min 34 sec

The 3.02 time is about 5% better that one would expect (based on cpu speed
scaling of the Alpha results)

Assuming no significant differences betwen 3.01 and 3.02, the PII optimized
results are about 15% better than one would expect.
