I have been rendering a 10,000 frame "animation" today, each frame only
taking a couple of seconds. However, when I got back from work,
expecting it to have finished, it had only done 3,000 frames, and was
now averaging 6 seconds a frame. Oddly, all this extra time was coming
from updating the message streams.
With the window open, it would print about 3 new lines a second, taking
several seconds to get to rendering the next frame. Even minimised, it
still had to wait several seconds between frames. What's going on here
?!? The "animation" was simply a huge number of Julia fractals with
different parameters, and a text object, so there was no memory issues
here. The message buffer only went back 100 or so frames.
I am using the latest beta version for windows. Is this a bug? Can
anyone explain this?
PS the problem disappears entirely using the -ga (All Console Off)
switch.

OK, I tried it again (on a different machine), but couldn't get a repeat
of the problem. I'm guessing it might just have been the computer I ran
it on first playing up.
If anyone wants to try it for themselves, render the following code with
"+KFF10240 +W400 +H300 +FN -D" to exactly repeat what I did:
camera {location <0,3,-5> look_at <0,0,0> angle 40}
light_source {<300,1000,-700> color rgb<1,1,1>}
#declare r1=(clock*2)-1;
#declare r2=(mod(clock*4,1)*2)-1;
#declare r3=(mod(clock*16,1)*2)-1;
#declare r4=(mod(clock*32,1)*2)-1;
julia_fractal {
<r1,r2,r3,r4>
quaternion
sqr
max_iteration 8
precision 15
texture {pigment {color rgb<0.8,0.3,0.1>} finish {ambient 0.1 diffuse
0.8 specular 0.75 roughness 0.0001}}
}
text {ttf "arial.ttf" concat(str(r1,1,4),", ",str(r2,1,4),",
",str(r3,1,4),", ",str(r4,1,4)) 0.15,0 scale 0.125 translate <-1,0,-2>
texture {pigment {color rgb<0.2,0.6,0.3>} finish {ambient 0.5 diffuse
0.5}}}
