POV-Ray 3.6 is part of the newly-released SPEC CPU 2006 benchmark suite. The
SPEC CPU 2006 benchmark is the next generation of the widely used industry
standard CPU benchmark suite, stressing a system's processor and memory
subsystem as well as compiler development.

This is good news for POV-Ray users, since, over time, processor and system
vendors tend to optimize their technology to perform well when running the
problems in the SPEC benchmark. This can lead to better performance of
POV-Ray on newly released processors. Additionally, compiler vendors
frequently use SPEC to validate their compilers; thus users of POV-Ray on
platforms not officially supported are, in the medium to long term, less
likely to encounter problems, therefore extending overall portability of POV-Ray.
