	As Thorsten mentioned in another thread, your observation is only valid
under Windows and Mac OS, not under Linux (and later under any other Unix).
	Besides, having POV-Ray automatically decide how many threads it should
use depending on the number of processors/cores is not necessarily the best
choice, especially under unix environments.
