Maybe I was just lucky :)  I think setting the count to 2,000,000 was a good
start ;)

I'm not sure, with RC5 running I can get both processors doing 100% (if not
with a little bit or kernel action here and there).  I'll have to
investigate it further.  AFAIK POV-Ray is single-threaded as well, but even
still, setting it to the highest thread priority should get it using 100% of
one processor.  I'll have to try manually setting it in the task manager on
pvengine.
