Actually that's not quite right.  It would not take that long to stop a 
render it you'd stop it by terminating the POV-Ray process.  You can 
check this by killing POV-Ray in the task manager - i assume it will 
usually not take long to do so.

This is one of the advantages of using the command line version - you 
don't have any problem cancelling a render.
