I started with a 486SX/25 and 4Mb of RAM...
Bye for now,

And you consider 50-60pps to be slow???
You've been spoilt by the advance of technology...
Bye for now,

My personal scale ;-)
Too slow : 1 pps = 133 h @ 800*600, 89 days @ 3200*2400
Slow : 5 pps = 27 h @ 800*600, 18 days @ 3200*2400
Almost slow : 10 pps = 13 h @ 800*600, 9 days @ 3200*2400
Fast : 20 pps = 20 h @ 800*600, 4 days @ 3200*2400
Unheard of :100 pps = 80 min @ 800*600, 21 h @ 3200*2400
My renders usually oscillate between "Slow" and "Almost slow". I'm presently in
"Slow".
No amount of technology can fix that, apparently.

I started with a 486DX with 4Megs of RAM.
It was the Athlon of that time. Then the Pentium was introduced... :)

I must be spoiled as well, as for simple scenes (eg. scenes/advanced/piece3/)
I get more than 10000 pps.

I started out on a 486DX/40 with 4MB of RAM, with barely enough free space on
my hard drive to fit the image files. those were the days :}

You had a hard drive?

This about sums it up for me too - though I generally give up if the render
goes below 4pps or cut the image size to 640x480!
These days with long parse times, radiosity and media it's a slow job to
develop a picture around two to three months.

The first PC I have used was a 8086. I didn't use POV-Ray in it, though.
I have also used a 286 with a really small HD (something like 10 Megs or so)
quite a lot.

As I mentioned, the first computer I used POV on was an Amiga 500 with (at the
time I was using POV on it) a 68010 running at a little over 7 MHz and 4.5 MB
of RAM (I used DBW-Render on the same machine with a 68000 and 512K of RAM,
though.) It didn't have a hard drive until later in its life, but that didn't
stop me from making some pretty cool images for the time. Unfortunately, I
no longer have a running Amiga to get any of them off of the disks they're
on. I suppose I might be able to mount the HD (a Micropolis 1325 - 72 whole
megabytes!) on a newer machine if I could find a SCSI adapter, though.
