  My role in this was to evaluate performance, check for odd behavior,
and report bugs or glaring mistakes. The magic that goes on inside
Pov the program is known to the developers and I am only a volunteer
beta tester. The answer is I don't know what they did, or how, but the
improvements are another feather in their caps to be sure.

  I suggest taking a look at the list of bugs fixed for this version. It
may offer some insight as to what may have contributed to the performance
change.

Both this list and the version realted bugs fixed list is available in the
povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions group on this server.
