  I think that this test is being more and more inaccurate.
  If the current scene takes, for example, 10 seconds to render in computer
A and 12 seconds in computer B, that means nothing. You can't really say
which one of those are faster. The 2 extra seconds in the computer B
may be some overhead which isn't so important in longer renders. It's
entirely possible that a render which takes 10 minutes in the computer A
would take only 8 minutes in B because in this longer render that
little overhead doesn't add so much to the rendering time.
  IMHO a scene which takes about 1 minute to render in the cray T3E should
be much better.
