If you are on linux, you could mount the directory where the file is 
exported as a ramdisk (before launching any of your tools and povray)

It has to be on a filesystem for povray, but nothing says that the 
filesystem cannot be in RAM.

If you are not changing the default output directory, you should 
provision enough room for the intermediate files and output pictures.
