AFAIK, POV assumes a display_gamma of 2.2,
which I have set (cause it is the correct value for my
screen), and when using assumed_gamma, correction
is applied.

Reading the docs I came to the conclusion that
not specifying an assumed_gamma, all images should
be the same, as no correction is applied, no matter
the display_gamma I set...

Well, as soon as the first frame is done, I'll send it over,
and you can check.

And regarding the speedy computer:
1.4 GHZ Athlon, Win98, 512 MB RAM

What's yours?
