Hi,

   I tried 3.7's speed with boring scene containing ten big concentric 
glass spheres and 10x32x16 = 5120 small metal spheres. Time results for 
rendering with +w640 +h480 +a are:

official 3.6.1: 44min 02s
3.7.0.beta14a, two threads: 2min 58s!

Machine has a dualcore Athlon 64, one thread rendering with 3.7 then may 
take around 6min, which is still more than 7x faster than official 3.6.

Good work done by POV team :-)

OS is Fedora Core 4.

Best regards

Vaclav
