Not quite:  the pixels/second number displayed in the status bar of POV-Win
doesn't take into account supersampling.  A simple scene (the close-up of
the jar of pencils at http://www.dlugosz.com/POV/dryad_dreams.html about
half way down the page) was showing 78PPS while working, but was taking 8
times longer than I would have supposed to finish one row.  Result was
actually closer to 11 pixels/second of =result= pixels in the final image.
