Pentium 166? Perhaps 200? It's really not about your speed, it's about your
patience!

Yeah, P200 MMX. I find that it's the design of a scene that takes the time..
tweaking media parameters etc. I don't mind so much waiting for a final
render.

And your patience ran out? :-)

Hmm...1024*768, AA method 2 with recursion 2 and threshold 0.3, PowerPC 
G3 350, 128MB RAM, Mac OS 9.0.4, rendering priority "Tyrannical":
Time For Trace:    0 hours  3 minutes   8.0 seconds (188 seconds)

Just a little bit slower than a Celeron 400...what is your processor?

That 250 MHz makes a BIG difference. I got 56 sec. on my 950 Athlon.
Got me beat by a whopping 7 whole seconds. Time to upgrade again !

I've got an old 486 DX2 80 around here somewhere that I am sure can
do worse than that. If that doesn't work I can also put together my
old 386 33 that is sure to take a couple of hours :)

I'd try it on my old 486SX33, except that there isn't enough disk space
available for me to install POV-Ray!

The very latest Athlon has DDR memory and a 266 Mhz bus.  I'd like to see
the numbers on this one.
I don't know if it's shipping in any systems yet - I saw it on AMD's site.
Mine has a 200 Mhz bus with SyncDRAM memory.  I forgot to mention that I'm
running Windows ME.

Running POV3.1g on Win2000 with all my usual applications running in the
background (including OE ;) my AMD-TB 800 produced the same render time;

skyvase.pov
1024x768 AA 0.3
77 s total

Not surprising perhaps, given they're both 800MHz...  The only thing that
makes me a little smug is that I only have 128megs RAM.  Can I make a
sweeping statement and say AMD > P3? :)
