What hardware are you on?

In a pinch, when you're doing animation, there are ways to make Pov only 
render half of the frames. You could try running a separate copy of Pov 
at the same time on the other half. Cumbersome, though. :-P

You know you've been raytracing too long when you downloaded and printed 
the Renderman Interface documentation, so you'd have a little light 
reading to take on holiday.
