  Comparing the newer version of POV-Ray with the older version is feasible.
If both give approximately the same image but the newer version does so
noticeably faster, that's something positive to notice.
  The newer version being faster than the older version *is* something
to brag about.

  In this case the speedup is mainly due to photons, isn't it? It's
interesting to see in practice how much they have been improved... :)
