THERE IS NO MULTITHREADED VERSION OF POV-RAY.  PERIOD.  

If you really must know why, go read one of the dozens of threads over in
povray.programming, or even in this very group, that cover that topic in
excruciating detail.  The short version, though, is that coding properly
for multiple threads isn't as easy as Microsoft wants you to believe it is.

Besides, process switches are nearly as fast as thread switches, so what's
the problem with the solutions presented so far?
