But what I was saying is that I could turn it on - and thereby negate 
the advantage of an extra rendering core. [Although thinking about it, 
for such a small area light so far away from the shiny surfaces, it's 
probably not worth it...]

Is that not the POV-Ray way? As soon as you have more CPU power, you 
render more complex images and it *still* takes forever to finish? ;-)

Still, 10 years ago decoding MPEG video fast enough for realtime display 
required custom ASICs and cost a fortune. Today I have a desktop PC that 
can do it without loading one core to more than 10%. Tomorrow...?
