Works wonderfully and truly speeds up rendering using my 4 cores.

Suggestion: probably SSE2 is the most useful CPU instruction set for 
POV-Ray hence the reason is used as a optimization, but would be useful 
  IMO that you use all available instruction sets available for AMD and 
Intel depending on which CPU is available. You probably know this I just 
wanted to remind you of it.

The previous reply was truncated, sorry, still a noob on POV-Ray, but 
here it is the render log:

Warning: Scene contained deprecated 'assumed_gamma'. Output gamma has been
adjusted to match legacy 'assumed_gamma' due to language version being 
set to
3.6x or lower. However, future versions of POV-Ray will not support backward
compatibility with 'assumed_gamma'. It is strongly recommended you 
update your
scene file by removing 'assumed_gamma' and add suitable 'Display_Gamma' and
'File_Gamma' options to your INI file or command-line instead. See the
documentation for details.
