  Basically POV-Ray 3.7 is not aware of whether it is running on an SMP
environment or not: It just runs on several threads.
  (The only exception is that, at least the Windows version, asks the OS
how many processors there are and decides the default number of threads
from that, but there's nothing mandatory about that: It could perfectly
run in any number of threads without any knowledge on the number of
processors in the system.)
