It's not only the multithreading and compiler. I have only one core (AMD
64 3500+) and I compiled my 3.6 from source, with gcc and probalby -O2
and -march=athlon64 (or w/e they are supposed to be). I think the
3.7-b29 was downloaded from povray.org. So, actually 3.6 should probably
be faster as it was optimized for this CPU, but no - 3.7 is (at least
for the "Eva Sails Away"-image) like ten times faster.
