if you're interested, you may want to try using the PGO feature (IIRC it's
a pain to set up in the VS2005 version, VC8 may be better). if you decide
to do it, use the benchmark and a few other random scenes as the guide that
you render when generating the PGO data.

at least with the Intel compiler (back when we could still use it), the PGO
version could shave about 10% from rendering times.
