I've now been able to try again.
Second try on the 2.8GHz machine: 2446 secs (vs. 13361 on first try).
Last night, I hit the Render button and went to sleep. Next morning PC was
in sleep mode (a deeper one than I usually see on the 1.0 machine). and the
next morning the Message board said 13361 secs.
This morning I hit Render again and went to work. When I was able to check
the PC again, it said 2446 secs.
So two wacky things going on:
1) WinXP's overagressive sleep mode.
2) WinXP's extreme neurosis about the state of its connectivity to the
internet (I've seen renders hang due to a warning message from XP).
Both cases 512 x 384 AA 0.3 of benchmark.
Will try new experiments.
