I recently replaced my Mac clone (PPC, 180 MHz) with a Linux box (K7,
550 MHz). I installed povray and found it surprisingly fast. How
fast? I tried a scene that I remembered as taking three hours, and it
was done in 8m 21s.
With a 3x difference in nominal CPU speed, why this 20x difference in
rendering?
Does the Mac compiler fail to use the math chip efficiently? Is the
math chip just crap?
