  We will look into this problem and fix it as soon as possible.

  PS: ;)

  PS2: Are you 100% sure all the settings were the same and the images
generated by both versions are practically identical? (There might be
very minor differences due to jittering etc, but I mean in general.)
  It's just that I didn't know 3.6 was this much more optimized than 3.5
(if it is, then great thing, of course).

I've noticed photons are much faster in 3.6, but in general, scenes tend to
render slightly slower. Looking at the tag line, I would imagine that this
has a lot to do with the fact that it is not the intel build on the beta,
but the VC++ build, which, with my processor disables the SSE2 noise
functions (this slowed the benchmark by approx. 3-4mins).

Yep I'm sure - both pics are identical - nothing was changed in the code or
any other ini settings.

Can't say why or if the environemt is equal.

My impression is that the POV-Scene beeing rendered immediately after new
installation takes significantly longer with 3.6 beta then with 3.5 .
