...you ask POV-Ray to draw a 40 megapixel image, it renders at roughly 2 
pixels per second, and you calculate how long it will take to render.

And then feel glad you're sitting down. (!)










40 megapixels = 40,000,000 pixels.
40,000,000 pixels / 2 pixels/second = 20,000,000 seconds.
20,000,000 seconds = 333,333 minutes.
333,333 minutes = 5,555 hours.
5,555 hours = 231.5 days.
