I noticed something that could be interesting for new users like me :
When we render a big scene, it can happen the parsing and the rendering is 
very slow.
A little trick (on Windows): open the task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Suppr) and look 
at the processes
Povray should run and use more than 90% of the processor power. If your 
scene become very voluminous, you can see the memory utilisation growing 
large and  the processor use dimnish, on VERY less than 90 %

If this is the case : your scene uses too much memory for your PC and POVRAY 
uses virtual memory, which is very slow. Tryinog to optimize the code of 
your scene could reduce the memory consumption. If not, close all other 
progs during rendering.
