It was definitly the same .pov file I copied it into a seperate 
directory as the .ini file.
The differences you mentioned above made me wonder too but the deviation 
here wasn't very high.
A real huge difference is in "Priority queue insert:"
2226874 (Windows)
  724352 (Linux)
But what does that mean ?:-)

The other stuff of the POV output of both renderings were quite similar 
but I'am not sure about jitter (to ABX) (But since it was the same .ini 
file...).

Yup this it what makes me wonder too.

A friend of mine who has a bit more knowledge about computer stuff in 
general (whatever that means)
said that an optimization that gives you half rendering time would be 
_very_ good (to Felix).

I don't know much about this stuff but I like linux and would prefer to 
play with POV here (Dualboot sucks if you can't share data without 
bending everything to fat).

I'll comapare it again take care of the parameters (hopefully a fault of 
mine :-) ), we'll see...

Thanks for comments
