Because of the I_Stack overflows i persume you are using quite a complex
CSG construction wich can slow things down a lot.  Since i don't have
quicktime installed, i wasn't able to view the movies so i can't say for
sure. Some pictures or a mpeg would help (you can post it in one of the
binaries groups).  

Since this seems no unix-specific question, it would be better to ask in
povray.newusers or povray.advanced-users, feel free to set a followup.
