It will depend a lot on the images. During the water round (the only round
I've voted in), I recall discounting one person's images because both
would have been much better if they'd used more time-consuming algorithms
in generating the images. In other words, if instead of generating two
images, they had generated one image with anti-aliasing (as I recall),
that one image would have been much improved. I thought it was really lame
to submit two images at lower quality than they should have been
submitted, and voted accordingly.

So in my case, it appears that I will judge you more harshly if I think
you or your computer should have spent more time on one image when you
wasted that time by generating multiple images. (But I'm not voting in the
animation round, so you may be in luck.)
