Just for your interest, here's the result of the Povray 3.7.0 benchmark on a
tiny ARM device:

CPU: Freescale i.MX6 Quad Cortex-A9 1.2GHz, 1MB L2-Cache, 2 GB RAM
(http://www.wandboard.org)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Render Time:
  Photon Time:      0 hours  0 minutes 21 seconds (21.670 seconds)
              using 7 thread(s) with 24.824 CPU-seconds total
  Radiosity Time:   No radiosity
  Trace Time:       0 hours 43 minutes 32 seconds (2612.173 seconds)
              using 4 thread(s) with 10411.503 CPU-seconds total
                    CPU vs. elapsed time ratio: 3.986 !!!

It takes forever, but at a steady power consumption of about 5 Watts ;)
Btw. compilation of Povray took about 10 minutes with make -j4

Sounds neat :-)

Did you check that there are no rendering artifacts? On the Raspberry 
Pi, last time I checked the single-precision floating point math was 
buggy there, leading to obvious artifacts in the biscuits.pov sample 
scene (and most probably any other scene, for that matter).

Checked your subsurface.pov sample scene.
Looks completely the same on the ARM and an i7.

No problem :)

Nice.
Is there a link where I can download a version compliled for a Kindle 
Fire  or a Microsodt Surface running 8.1 RT?
