I've noticed this on the Mac version. I think that by clicking repeatedly or holding
the mouse
down, you get the processor to focus on POV-Ray and ignore the rest, because even in
Tyrannical mode it lets the processor work with other applications. That's just my
guess tho.
I gave up on programming years ago.
