  Beats me how I could test for myself if such slowdown can be fixed or
not, regardless of how many macs I have.

  Apparently you know the internal workings of MacOS X so well that you
know that it cannot be fixed? How? Do you have access to the source code
or developement documentation or something? I would just be interested
in knowing what is it that makes it impossible to fix.

  (Ah, but now that I think about this conversation a bit, I think there's
a confusion. When I said "Didn't they fix it?" I meant "Didn't Apple fix
MacOS X so that the newer versions are not as slow as the older ones?".
I think you thought I meant "can't POV-Ray for Mac be fixed to work
faster?")
