: Kinda like the .pob format?

  I have no idea what kind of format it is, but it might not be it. I'm not
just talking about converting the pov-file to a more compact binary format
(which can by itself, of course, speed up the parsing), but to a "machine
code"-type language which is a lot simpler and very fast to interpret.
  For example a statement like this:

  pigment { White_Marble }

could be, converted to this "machine code", just two or three op-codes (ie.
numbers), one number for the command "pigment with reference to predeclared
identifier" and the other the ID for White_Marble.
