I've noticed photons are much faster in 3.6, but in general, scenes tend to
render slightly slower. Looking at the tag line, I would imagine that this
has a lot to do with the fact that it is not the intel build on the beta,
but the VC++ build, which, with my processor disables the SSE2 noise
functions (this slowed the benchmark by approx. 3-4mins).
