Render this scene more times. Each time I re-render it the rendering time differs
very much from the previous render instance.
Here are my results:
320x240
1) 5 sec.
2) 45 sec.
3) 1 min 18 sec.
4) 5 sec.
5) 5 sec.
6) 45 sec.

And so on. The slower the rendering the better the caustics look.

I also noticed that glass.pov in the incdemo folder now look wrong, very grainy. I
had rendered it with Beta 1 and looked right.
