Just occured to me that you meant the render time decreased (sped up).  I
tried the file with the added anti-collection code in the difference.  I
get:

MegaPOV - 18s
RC5 - 23s

Removing photons I get (at 640x480):

MegaPOV - 8s
RC5         - 5s

So RC is almost twice as fast without photons.  At that resolution with the
original code it's:

MegaPOV - 34s
RC5          - 12m 2s

Over 20x slower

Go figure...
