Hi smb, you recently wrote in moray.win:

You did use the INI file that Moray generates for that file, right?
I've had people wonder why POV was slower/faster when started with
Alt-G only to realize that they had the POV file loaded. This makes
POV render with the currently active settings, instead of the ones
when Moray is loaded.

As long as Moray (or any other program that uses a GUI extension to
get at pixels) is loaded, POV-Ray sends rendered pixels to it and thus
will be slower.
