Hello,

I thought that more people would already know this "bug". But I haven't
seen it mentioned here.

Version: 3.1.watcom.win32.r1

Problem: If you do a rendering with radiosity on, it goes two-pass.
The first pass always seemed very slow to me until I realized that
it speeds up with a factor of at least 20 (twenty!!!) if you click and
hold the title bar of the rendering window. If you do this, radiosity
renderings are only about 50% slower than normal ones.

Somebody should know this and it should be quite easy to fix, I guess
it is a message handling problem between the rendering window and the
calculation thread.

Markus
