A cheap solution that may help is to change operating systems.  I assume
you're using Window 3.1 or Win95.  Try installing and running under
Linux.  You won't believe how fast that 486 will run once you get a
Microshaft operating system away from it.  You can get a book at the
bookstore that has the full distribution of Linux on a couple of CD's
for your system, and POV-Ray is available for Linux.  Also, I have made
a freeware application called POV-Motif available on the web at:

http://www.computek/net/public/wdh/pov_motif

This application give POV-Ray users a GUI front end for POV-Ray on UNIX
systems.
