Is there any way to do a rough estimate of time needed to render any
given scene when various settings are used with certain computer
configurations?  I.e. can you estimate how long it would take to
render five glass spheres with five point lights over a plane at
resolutions  1600 x 1200   800 x 600   640 x 480   320 x 240
antialiasing on/off
radiosity on/off
CPU 100 mhz  200 mhz  800 mhz  1000 mhz  2000 mhz   6000 mhz

I'm curious 'cuz it'd be interesting to know how fast a scene I
have that took 51:09:07 hms at 700 mhz for 640 x 480 would render
on other machines (without actually trying it on, say, my 486/66)
