Hi

If you set 'pretrace_start' to 0.01 and forget to set 'pretrace_end' at 
the radiosity definition the preview calculation will be repeated many 
times before proper pixel rendering will start.

example:
   radiosity {
     pretrace_start 0.01
//  pretrace_end 0.01   // preview error when you forget this parameter
   }

btw. PovRay v3.62 preview calculation is working as expected!
   Using 640*480 resolution and set pretrace_start to 0.01 it displays a 
preview picture with interpolated pixel colors.

Confirmed. Thanks for the report.
