  This reminds me of something else: Seemingly patch makers have not followed
the strict programming guidelines in the POV-Ray source code, which has
caused a big problem: The code is extremely hard to optimize for RISC
processors, which means that POV-Ray is quite slow in them, even though
it could be a lot faster if the patches were coded in the right way.
