The other day I was goofing around with some of the example images that come 
with the povray install and I ran into this one again.
Running the original takes about 3 seconds on my machine, but after tweaking 
it a bit, it took 7 hours, 29 mins, 59 secs.

That is okay. :-D

I've got a Police box if you want to put it in the background. ;-)

Or a knight on a rearing horse. ;-)

That is some improvement in speed you have there ;-)

I remember running this scene on my 386 when I first got POV, I cannot remember
exactly but it probably took several hours (maybe even days).

Has made me think though, this would be a good competition idea, who could
improve/rework one of the old standard scenes (fish13 was always one of my
favourites).

:-) Those of us around a long time all secretly miss those long, long 
render times on the old scenes...

Not really... if computer technology would catastrophically collapse 
back to the level of the early 1990s, I would find myself sitting at a 
486-40DX with 4 megs of RAM and 210 megs of harddisk and thus, with the 
POV-Ray experience of the last 18 years I probably would give up 
raytracing entirely (not to speak of realtime 3-D) and refrain to 
building Khyberspace as a text-based MUD world...

See you in Khyberspace!
