Hi,

In order to have a better impression of speed and a faster overlook of the final
image, the last pass should render the pixel in a certain order.

During the first passes, Pov calculate a render weight of each pixels. The
render weights is determined by the cpu/memory/time needed to render. And on the
last pass, Pov render the pixels by weight order.

It's also a way to find rendering holes, where most of the time is consumed.

Did you think is a good idea ?

Cheers
