Maybe you should make sure that the general POV-Ray configuration files are 
the same for both OS. What about copying povray.ini to $HOME/.povrayrc ?

Also note that they aren't compiled by the same compiler. The windows 
version may be much more optimized than the linux version. When sources are 
available you can compile your own version with gcc -O3 and some system or 
processor specific optimizations.
