I prefer POV (basically for both its flexibility and general quality), but I
wouldn't say that POV is faster than Lightflow without any real comparison.
You must admit that, although simple, these examples and their rendering
times are quite impressive: http://max3d.3dluvr.com/news.php?n_id=204.
BTW I must admit that I haven't managed to find a good lightflow gallery
(with *real* images, not just tests) yet.
