I don't remember the times, but the difference was incredible. I guess
Arttu has them written down and will provide them, but I'll add
something: Eva sails away was also rendered (at least partly) on A64 X2
4450e (2,3GHz) with enough memory and C/CXXFLAGS "-march=athlon64 -O1
-pipe" with 3.6 and it took multiple times against the mentioned A64
3500+/3.7.

I also have one possible explanation: IIRC the image uses radiosity and
AFAIK the radiosity implementations differ between 3.6 and 3.7, being
able to create huge differences between render times. Feel free to
correct me if I'm wrong.
