Could be. :) Rendering with POV and its variations takes more scientific methods
than I'm usually capable of. The seldom mentioned findings like yours (and mine)
is very little to go on I'm sure. I'm always making guesses about what or why
something is so different regarding render times.
Funny thing about that. Just a while ago I mistakenly had 2 sets of scene
objects occupying the same space, and I couldn't understand why a slowdown and
strange artifacts was happening. Not typical coincident surfaces I'm used to
seeing, more like box shadows. Possibly the subsurface scattering causing the
change in appearance. Won't really ever know I guess, unless I encounter that
enough times to learn why.

thanks ... can't take credit for model:
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1263333
it's in .stl format ... blender was able to import (no cleanup needed)
and i believe Jerome's pov branch can handle .stl

That render time is depressing.

nice metal material
But the room is too dark, my opinion.

thanks ...

perhaps ... room not as important as scattering media and object.

well i suppose to be fair about it my system wasn't exclusive on the
render all the times ... maybe some gains from decreasing area light
density but then scattering and shadows suffer
