This wasn't a bug report, first of all because it is not a bug but a 
perfectly natural and known behaviour of the program.  There is nothing 
wrong with the cloth simulation patch and the Linux beta version of MP 
1.1 renders nappe.pov even faster than MP 1.0.  Apart from that it of 
course lacked most of the requirements of a bug report.

And to be perfectly honest - if you find the program too slow just don't 
use it.  We are trying hard to provide a working Windows GUI version 
although this is really far from trivial.  So if you think you can do 
better just do so.  It is completely understandable that the low speed 
of the executable is frustrating for the users but instead of 
complaining it would be more productive to actually try doing something 
against it.
