This is kind of a stupid question considering I've been using POV-Ray 
for nearly 20 years.

Does the program need to parse the scene completely each frame of an 
animation? Is there any speed benefit compared to rendering each frame 
individually without POV's animation feature?

I have a huge LDraw model that takes ~30 hours to parse and ~1 hour to 
render. If each frame doesn't need to the scene to be parsed completely 
I may consider making an animation. Otherwise, I won't do it.
