your reply to BGimeno encouraged me to try on my machine (lowly I3), and now I'm
confused.  run with:

  $ povray +w1024 +h768 +a0.05 +am2 +ag1 -j +q11 +itorus-test6.pov

parsing is well under a minute, and (4 threads) radiosity + trace total up to
under 20 minutes.

BGimeno: looks like your system would benefit from some tlc + admin.  ;-)
