No no! I meant I have 512 MB RAM, and sometimes it
seems that the disk is swapping although peak level
is somewhat lower (I know that windows etc need
RAM too, but I feel like there's some RAM unused
while swapping).

But that's probably just Microsoft at work, not POV-Ray...

Perhaps POV can think, has an AI and is the smartest programm in
the universe - but without its own RAM, there's no space
for the brain-storage.. ;-)
