We are discussing raytracing here, aren't we?

Which is the main reason for the "Mac version is so slow" complaint.  It
draws every pixel and thus takes rather long for an image that only takes a
second to render without preview the overhead can be over one minute!

  Yes, but I still can render something with POV-Ray at 5 FPS.

A reflective sphere on a checkered plane?

  A plane is quite slow to render, but make that a box, and it could
perfectly be possible.

Easier to spot for me, easier for others to remember too.
