If you're using the standard POV-Ray build, I think you'll find that 
only 1 processor is actually doing any work...

(Well, *actually*, only 1 processor is doing the rendering; I'm sure the 
other one is handling stuff like updating the display and powering the 
GUI, etc.)

Also, I would imagine for this particular thing, it didn't use an aweful 
lot of RAM...

(...on the other hand, it reports a peak memory usage of roughly 290 MB, 
so what would I know?)
