What I don't get: The samples on http://www.povcomp.com/samples/ intend to
show that scene elements at all scales have details.

I cannot evaluate a scene file >99 megabytes - a million primitives -
without memory exhaustion.

So either those plants, dragonflies, and tree leaves are the only scene
elements with small details, and the backgrounds use more textures than real
plant surfaces, or the POVray team rendered their sample with some system
more powerful than my puny 2-year old DELL notebook running WinXP.

Should I figure out how to use POVcyg instead of PVengine?
