Sorry if this question has been posted and answered somewhere, but I
have searched the postings and faqs and can find nothing on it.

I have a newish eMachine (low priced PC) with an AMD 333Mhz K2 that
renders all my old povray scenes slower than my laptop with a 120Mhz
Pentium (like 1/3 the speed rather than 3 times faster, as I would think
it should). This very slow rendering performance occurs under both the
Win98 and Mandrake Linux 6.0 OS installations on the eMachine so it does
not appear to be a OS or software installation problem to me. (Perhaps
the K2's L2 cache? but the laptop is older and only has smallish
processor cache anyway.)

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
