Everybody shows off raytracing versions of Quake...  What they forget is 
that it's just a bunch of textured polygons, something that renders 
quickly no matter *what* method you're using.

I'd love to see somebody import a Quake scene into POV just so we could 
have a speed comparison between RTRT, the new one you're pointing out, 
and POV.  I'm not saying POV would be the fastest (they only use one 
light source, for instance), but I'd like to know what the *real* speed 
difference is.
