I had the same behaviour on my NT machine, but was not sure whether it was
only my imagnination or not. POV-Ray 3.5 beta 7 was not so nice to other
processes even if the process itself was set to lowest priority in the task
manager. I tried to compile something and normaly the compiler got most of
the CPU time. But with the new beta it does not. This happend only one or
two times and I can't reproduce it now. :-(

Sorry, but I can't give more evidence. I will have a look on it...

So long,
