I took a scene and rendered it whir pov-ray 3.1g and 3.1g.r1. Looking at
the status window everything looks the same except

Peak memory used:           471238 bytes
Time For Trace:    1 hours  1 minutes  43.0 seconds (3703 seconds)
(version 3.1g)

Peak memory used:           471354 bytes
Time For Trace:    0 hours 40 minutes  39.0 seconds (2439
seconds)(version 3.1g.r1)

(and of course the cache statistics.)

Now, that is a big hit on optimization!  Congratulations to the povray
mac-team!

Alberto :-)
