Mmm, I'm seeing *a lot* of references to the PS3 in relation to high 
performance computing. I know nothing about it, but from the sheer 
weight of references, I'm guessing it's moderately well-equipted?

Actually, just porting POV-Ray to run on a GPU would probably yield some 
interesting speedups. You'd have to radically restructure the program to 
take advantage of the way GPUs work, but it should be quite fast...
