I use LightWave 7.5 and have seen the difference. LightWave is slower 
with its radiosity than POV 3.5..... (o.t. and you have to remember to 
use adaptive antialiasing). Lightwave does not have a heightfield 
object, so subdivision surfaces must be used. That's also slow. 
Lightwave is not primarily a raytracer, but from what I've seen, POV-Ray 
beats the hell out of LW's raytracing capabilities and speed.
