That's an understatement.  Renderers taking this approach take extremely 
long for any non trivial scene - a typical complex landscape would take 
years (!!!) to render in a quality comparable to a POV-Ray render.

Such renderers are quite frequently used for generating reference images 
in research - for example to demonstrate that a certain other technique 
can generate accurate results much faster.
