| Now, maybe some parts of the K6-2's instruction set could speed up some
| Povray operations ?  I don't know...  It's probably worth to try.

K6-2 includes instruction sets for fast floating point calculations,
especially matrix transformations. They would work very well for POV
indeed, _however_ I'm willing to bet that they only use 32-bit
floating points, and I don't think that's enough.
