Hi Theo,
sorry for delay. I decided to spent my vacation on the sea instead rendering
the IRTC entry :).

I can confirm that. Here are numbers  for 'optics.pov' at 1024x768 AA 0.1:
Prozessoren:  2
CPU 1 Speed:  3354 Mhz.
CPU 2 Speed:  3354 Mhz. ( I dont know why, because all other in machine
recognizes original 3006 Mhz)

optics.pov rendered in 1024x768 in 2 Tiles (V) from 08-30-2003 / 22:44:59 to
08-30-2003 / 23:32:53 (2875).

Single instance od POV need 3321 seconds. POV and scene already loaded.

about few seconds...

No.
