I *ran* POV-Ray on an A1200. (In fact, I probably still have it set up.)

You remember textures1.pov? The demo file that renders half a dozen 
cylinders with different textures from textures.inc? That took about an 
hour at 640x480 without AA. (Off the top of my head, anyway.) This on an 
Amiga 1200 with an accelerator card (i.e., running with a faster CPU 
than stock, and with an *FPU* as well).
