Hi all, I just installed gcc3.1, and rebuilt povray 3.1 (from a rh7.2 src
rpm package)

On a scene I am playing with, rendertime is 124 seconds, previous version
built with gcc3.0.4 was 144 seconds.  It's still a small scene, but
thats an aproximate 20% speed up on a PII300.  

Just another benifit of open source software...
