Hi,
I'm a little surprised at the magnitude of the slow down. Are you timing
with a v3.8 beta or something else? I'm expecting the files are all on a
ramdisk?
Thinking aloud...
If a povr branch, was it heavily optimized ahead of the build/make via
configure script options?
Re: The povr branch is running with a C++11 string hash function for the
symbol tables in the parser / vm over the traditional POV-Ray one. In my
testing the C++11 one is only faster if the compile options are
relatively aggressive(1,2).
In general, with the dictionary stuff being relatively new to v3.8,
there is likely room to make the parser faster around that functionality.
I'd be willing to play a little with your 100K spheres case - if you
want?

(1) - A reminder, the povr branch build system does NO optimization by
default when the configure script is run.
(2) - The C++11 hashing of strings is much better, but it's more complex
code and takes longer than POV-Ray's method. The old hashing tends to
clump table entries around the leading ascii character value(s).
