I don't understand why it's so slow?  Or is that about the normal speed
for the tracer you're using?  Do you have a huge load of IOR going on or
something?  The ring is surrounded by blackness so it isn't reflecting
other refracting objects and for only 90 frames... What sort of
primitives or math did you use in the source file?  Are you
multi-tasking heavily?

I'm not accusing you or anything of foul play here... ;o)  but I'm
really curious.
