I just found out per chance, as I wouldn't have guessed, that POV
does start about the slowest render possible, when triggered by Moray.
I took 3 different scenes in the range of 10sec. to 22sec. rendertime.
Switched off render to backdrop.
Set up in Moray and POVray the benchmark settings of skyvase.pov.
Did renderings from within Moray with POV settings gui- and render
priority to min and max switched. The rendertimes where identical,
for the bigger file 22 seconds average at 5 runs.
Left Moray open and loaded the file into POVray.
Did runs with priority settings slowest, came down to 22 seconds.
With settings to fastest, 17.5 seconds. On the faster files, renders
from Moray where slightly faster than worstcase priority settings.
Haven't tried with longer renders so far, should turn out about the
same. I mean, I get nervous if I see a machine that's 20% faster than
mine and the guy hasn't spend a dime extra for it, so I do start longer
renders from POVray now.
