Hi All,
Has anyone heard if the POVRAY team is going to release a version with the
SSE or 3DNow instruction sets enabled?
Thanks Ed

Probably not, since theese instructions aren't made for the high percision that
pov needs. The best thing for this would be that you(yes, the one who wants it)
finds a compiler that can do specific compiles for theese instructions, thus
gaining a bit of speed.

Ed, in keeping with a portable rendering engine code, POV-Ray
doesn't include enhancements to a specific processor. Any enhancements
for a cpu have to come with the compiler used for each operating
system. This is not to say that these things *couldn't* be written,
just that the resulting code would no longer be truly cross-platform,
negating one of the main objectives of the POV-Team.
