So that you know why staring at you POV-Ray preview while it is 
rendering *will* cause your computer to run slower :-)

It's a good thing that there's also an ANTI-Zeno effect--that way they cancel

As long as my computer doesn't disappear into the ether while I'm not looking,
I'm happy. (At least, I *think* it doesn't...)
