The MP version of POVRay is absolutely exceptional and it is *frighteningly"
fast.

I rendered this image
http://www.calvert.ch/photo/still-life/raytrace/slides/calabiyau.jpg
with transparency and radiosity and in barely 8 minutes (log below).

Congratulations, this is a beautiful piece of engineering.
