  The lathe differences were noted between Pov-Ray version changes
and using the different compilers for the Windows program. This recent
test is a straight line test with the same version of Pov-Ray used
throughout the test range. I was seeing the most difference between
Pov v3.1r1 watcom and Pov v3.1d msvc6. There were a few revisions in
between and completely different programming software usedto compile it.
My results will stand unchallenged by this latest test.
