did you use profiling with ICC?
it makes povray run about 15-25% faster (forgot the exact figures).

for gcc profiling does not seem to help much with povray. 

I use these...

-tpp6 -O3 -xi -restrict -long_double -ipo -ipo_obj -unroll
  -prof_dir /tmp/iccprof -pc80

-prof_genx and -prof_use are the profiling options,
docs tell how to use 'em.
