  Getting more RAM and faster disks helps only if povray uses more memory than
the physical RAM. If povray uses 1M of RAM, getting 64 Megs more will not
help a bit. A faster disk will help only if povray swaps a lot. A larger disk
will not speed anything (why should it?).
  A faster cpu and fpu will speed considerably, and also a faster bus. Larger
cache might speed up also.
