Hmm. It seems to me that the letter (Chris' posting) was saying "our
benchmark file makes heavy use of noise because it's a good measurement of
CPU performance," whereas you were saying "mediasky.pov makes heavy use of
noise and is therefore a bad measurement of CPU performance."

I guess the points were that mediasky.pov uses noise too much whereas
benchmark.pov uses it just the right amount, but the way it was said makes
it seem like noise is simultaneously a good and a bad thing to use in a
benchmark file.
