3.1e on my AMD-K6-maschine. Linux was always faster than Windows until I set the
render priority to highest in the Windows version. But than you can do nothing


An other scene made by me was rendered on Linux in about 5 minutes and the
Windows version took about 6 minutes. (800 x 600, A0.3)

I must say, that I have not recompiled the Linux version. I took the binaries as
they were.

So long,

Jan
