this reminds me of my pure maths teacher at school

if you have something like

prove sin^3 (x) + 3 cos^2 (x) = 5sin(x)cos(x)

i used reduce lhs to 1 and then reduce rhs to 1 or some other term

and then i'd have to write lhs derivation followed by the rhs derivation 
in reverse to make him happy

the system and scene source are constant, therefore running to me at 
least, povray 3.5 versus povray 3.6 with i assume same arguments, is a 
valid performance indication

unless someone can explain and convince me differently ?
