I''ve tried rendering torus1.pov (file provided with povray) at 640x480
aa0.3 with the following results.

Machine dual PII 450, 128MB default settings for everything else.

Win 98     2m 5s

Win NT    2m 6s

If I watch CPU utilisation on NT it hovers around 45-50% as if its only
using one processor (even though this percentage is split between the
two processors on the chart). This is born out by the above times.

Can POV be recompiled in a dual processor environment to make better use
of the hardware. Are there any compilations of this sort available?

Cheers

Mike
