Interesting. On my old single-core Windows machine, samples of 50 is definitely
slower than samples of 1-- which I'm used to seeing anyway, in POV-Ray versions
3.61 and v3.62. As I understand, v3.7 was basically designed for multi-core
machines, not my old 'clunker.' (In fact, I've noticed that all of my older 3.62
scenes render a bit slower in v3.7, across the board.)

*Someday*, I'll upgrade to a multi-core machine, and join the 20th century
(oops, I mean the 21st century.)  ;-)
