Sorry if I was a bit confusing when using the word "preview". 

I intend that the rendered/partly interpolated image is the final 
image produced by POVRay. BUT you will most likely only use it as 
feedback during design, most notably for animations (-> "animation 
preview")
Because test-rendering animations always takes too long for me, 
I want to try and implement something to achieve slightly less quality 
in considerably less time. 

Don't know how well it will work or how much savings that will 
achieve. But do NOT use the patch I mentioned, it implements just 
the first step and produces bad results. 

BTW, I'll be VERY busy during the next 4 weeks, but come back 
to that issue once I play around with POVRay again (i.e. some time 
next month).
