This has been suggested before, but i think it would only work with a
tesselation function which would take quite a lot of time to do it's work,
probably much longer than a low quality render directly in POV would take
in most cases.

Of course if you limit the test render to basic shapes and meshes (no csg,
blobs, isosurfaces...) it could work.
