I am a bit taken aback by the silence on this issue. Anyone can try this for
themselves. Run the file "optics.pov" from the scenes/advanced folder under 3.5
RC5 and watch your system slow to a crawl. Now try it under MegaPOV 0.7. The
file screams by in a small fraction of the time. The output quality will show a
bit brighter media in RC5, but that is the only difference, other than the
exponential time increase.
