just tried uberpov 3.7.1-x.colour.8871403 and compared it to pov 
3.7.1-alpha.8889454

did a subsurface and scattering comparison (no area lights):

subsurface only: pov 34.315 min  uber 47.6 min  pov 38% faster
scattering only: pov 16.1 min  uber 15.8 min toss up

why the big difference in render time for subsurface!!! not leading me 
to expect any pay off by adding more than one effect or area lights into 
the mix

absolutely no changes to sdl file other than #version 3.7;  -vs- 
#version unofficial patch 3.7;
