Hi Anto,


I hope your holiday was ok!

Your numbers show that under equal circumstances:

> optics.pov rendered in 1024x768 in 2 Tiles (V) from 08-30-2003 / 22:44:59
to
> 08-30-2003 / 23:32:53 (2875).

You get a small timewin of around 24% including the loading times etc..
Thats what you can get using hyperthreading.
As we know now, its not so intresting for pictures which render only few
seconds.
