Good enough, if POV-Ray versions match. I remember a terribly flickering 
animation the Internet Movie Project did, and the problem was some users 
had different POV versions. That's not a problem on my farm, since 
everyone is using the exact same version (and with my modifications).

The main problem is there *might* be artifacts when resuming a render. I 
can't guarantee frames will be rendered in "one go" (people may reboot, 
or BOINC automatically decide to switch from raytracing to protein folding).
