  I have understood that the second value is the max_trace_level you have
set and the first value is the actual number of recursions povray had to
calculate at max.
  Ie. if the max level says 4/7 then it means that you have set
max_trace_level to 7 but povray only needed 4 (ie. if you change your
max_trace_level to 4 the image will be identical).
  For example, if your image has only one refracting sphere (no reflection)
and a plane, the max level should say 2/5.
