I sometimes look at Max Level results, but little else in that section 
of output...

My understanding is Smpls/Pxl is usually 0.0 if anti-aliasing is off. If 
AA is on it goes up, but can still be quite small for the overall image 
- if not much super-sampling was needed for the image in total.

Are you asking about those particular outputs because you see a 
significant difference in those particular results between the two 
methods? If so, what are the values returned?

When you say 'mesh' do you mean just a single mesh as rendered to some 
plain color via both tools? Or are you talking about a complete scene 
via Blender vs PoseRay with textures and 'everything'?

If the former I'd look at the mesh file size as a first clue. Perhaps 
too if a really simple scene whether bounding is on in both and what 
those stats are. Should somewhere see the output :

Bounding boxes.......On
...
Bounding Box  <tests> <succeeded> <percentage>


If working with complete scenes from both tools, the render time 
difference could be a great many things. Suppose I'd start by looking at 
both sets of files looking for differences. Are there ini files where 
one might have some expensive option on by default and the other not for 
example?
