Hi and welcome.

It all depends what the scene is, how many objects are in it and what 
type of objects. So if you could post one of the files that might help.

Actually you might need to post more than one file if the .pov file 
includes other files, meshes and image files.
Which program is exporting the pov file?

Switching off the messages will not speed things up very much, I would 
think.
