As a cautionary tale, try rendering the incdemos on an Amiga 1200 at
20MHz... Not fun. (CPU is a Motorola 68020 at 20MHz, FPU is a Motorola 68882
at 50MHz, 32MB fastRAM, POV-Ray 3.1... Takes about 8 mins for the main
textures incdemo - *without* antialiasing.)

The Amiga is a lovely thing, but raytracing really requires more speed than
that... And anyway, POV-Ray 3.5 isn't availible for it. :-(
