Well, seems it haven't sense, even both of procs are on 100%.
Skyvase on 1024x768 AA 0.1:
skyvase.pov rendered in 1024x768 in 2 Tiles (H) from 08-14-2003 / 17:12:36
to 08-14-2003 / 17:13:14 (38).

Maybe I doing something wrong.

This is near the same as rendering with two POV's with two separate ini
files, every one with output to a different half-image file.
(17 and 22 seconds).
Single instance of POV need 29s for all.

However, good surprise for me is possibility to render radiosity (with some
my own files) in parts. I remebering many problems with
POV-Ray 3.0 in this case. Well, this is adavantage of POV 3.5...
