One other thing to note here, this problem does not exist until you render
an image.
If I just run PovRay and start typing, the editor keeps up with me as fast
and as
randomly as I type.  After I "Run", this problem starts happening.

O.K.  When using task manager, without any virus software or anything else
running,
pvengine varies between 8 and 22 percent and SystemIdleProcess takes up the
slack.

When I sit here and type randomly, every 32nd keystroke the pvengine task
jumps to 99%
and stays there for about 4 seconds.  Then it jumps back to normal.

When not typing anything, just sitting here staring at the screen waiting
for something to happen,
nothing happens.  pvengine is at 0% and SystemIdle is at 99% until I start
typing again.  I have
waited as much as 60 seconds and still nothing happens.

It is as though the editor is keeping track of an "undo/redo" list of
commands and it updates
the command list every 32 commands ( a nice binary number ).  However, this
only happens
after an image has been renedered.
