  tricking some SMP with pov

I work for an ISP with a mighty powerful server running linux (quad
processors). First of all, if I took my pov image and made a shell script to
run 4 copies of povray, each doing a 1/4 slice of the scene, would I gain in
performance? I realize that this would be a memory hog beyond all reason.

ALSO, is it possible to run pov through a telnet? Then I could do my test
renders on my home box, ftp the pov to the server, and have a finished copy
when I come in in the morning.
