If you want a fix right now, you could just get MacMegaPOV from:

Simply turning on animation should not have that effect on frame render 
times. What are you doing that is dependant on the clock variable? Is it 
just the render time that increases, or is it really the parse time? 
Does it happen on the very first frame, or only on subsequent ones? Does 
it get worse with each frame?
