Hi, Gilles. This wouldn't be the first time that POV-Ray has been used
to show off Intel processors. Remember this demo presented by IBM?
http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9903/16/super.idg/
Obviously, when it comes to networked computers, Skyvase.pov may no
longer be a valid benchmark for processing power of this magnitude. For
single cpu home-based systems, though, it's still fun to see how close
we can get to the Cray <s>.
