However, I think, it could be not only the memory management of windows
that makes it slow! If you kill the pov engine by CTRL-ALT-DEL and kill
the process in the upcoming box, the memory is almost immediately freed.
Therefore I'm wondering what pov does if you stop a render and I think
it must be also possible under windows to stop a render immediately
without disk thrashing (however not several minutes, if it could be some
seconds; see killing the povengine). But I may be mistaken.
