Hi,

I think everyone now knows that the precalculation
converning radiosity is a lot faster when holding
the mouse over the caption of the render window.

Yesterday I noticed that it also helps to touch
the scrollbar of the editor window....

And (most important):

I rendered a simple scene (cylinder, 2 spheres, 3 planes)
which went at about 9600 pixels per second. One time
I accidentally (sp?) hit the caption of the render
window (I was doing radiosity tests, you know ;-)
and I realized that even a normal rendering goes
faster when holding the title bar of the render
window. It then calculated about 12800 pixels per
second which is a good 30% faster.

I think this should be definitely fixed in the next
release (before any new features come into POV...)
