Yes, it's any 63 frames of the same basic scene file, and with the exception
of Finder and whatever services are started when OS X boots up, I'm not
running any other processes.

I'm not using any MegaPOV features at all; the only reason I'm using
MacMegaPOV is the unavailability of POV-Ray for Macintosh on OS X 10.2.x.

This is a straight, standard POV-Ray *.POV file that includes seven *.INC
files and loads about 45 MB of *.PNG and *.TGA image, bump and texture map
files. Total memory used for each frame is about 550 MB.

thanks...
