Coming in on the heels of everyone else's compiling woes and optimized
builds, I just got around to doing my own, and thought I'd post my results.
I don't have the official linux build or the windows build installed to do
comparisons with, but I did a default build and an optimized build, and
have results for each on my system:
povray.unopt +a0.3 +w320 +h240 +v +D +ibenchmark.pov
Time For Parse: 0 hours 0 minutes 6.0 seconds (6 seconds)
Time For Photon: 0 hours 3 minutes 2.0 seconds (182 seconds)
Time For Trace: 1 hours 4 minutes 41.0 seconds (3881 seconds)
Total Time: 1 hours 7 minutes 49.0 seconds (4069 seconds)
povray +a0.3 +w320 +h240 +v +D +ibenchmark.pov
Time For Parse: 0 hours 0 minutes 4.0 seconds (4 seconds)
Time For Photon: 0 hours 1 minutes 30.0 seconds (90 seconds)
Time For Trace: 0 hours 34 minutes 54.0 seconds (2094 seconds)
Total Time: 0 hours 36 minutes 28.0 seconds (2188 seconds)
Quite a significant improvement! OK, so this sucks compared to you Athlon
XP 1900 people, but I'm quite happy with it on my Athlon tbird 1.1 GHz.
Some notes on the build:
- Hadn't read the thread on the min/max problem, so I ended up changing all
calls to min/max to fmin/fmax, and calls to min3/max3 to
fmin(fmin(),)/fmax(fmax(),).
- Configured as follows based on random suggestions scattered across usenet:
CXX='/usr/local/gcc-3.1.1/bin/g++ -O3 -march=athlon-tbird
-mcpu=athlon-tbird -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-functions=6 -funroll-loops
-ffast-math -malign-double -m3dnow -mmmx' LDFLAGS='-static' ./configure
Note that I linked this as a static binary so if anyone else wants to give
it a try, I can put it up for download - just let me know.

Your flags do not mention SSE instructions. My Duron does not either.
I sometimes get an error with Micha'compile (which includes SSE
instructions).
I'd like to get my hand on your version to give it a try.
Thanks

From what I understand, SSE support was not added to the Athlons until the
MP and XP variants. I'm pretty sure it's not available in the Thunderbird.
I've posted my build at http://home.attbi.com/~cecka2/pov35 . Let me know
how it works for you.

Hi Ken.
I ran the Athlon version on my machine and got the following error:
Parsing...Scene File Parser Initialization Error: I/O restriction prohibits read
access to file 'benchmark.pov'.
Refer to the platform specific documentation for details.
The only thing I changed was the executable. The original 3.5 version gave:
Time For Parse: 0 hours 0 minutes 6.0 seconds (6 seconds)
Time For Photon: 0 hours 2 minutes 46.0 seconds (166 seconds)
Time For Trace: 1 hours 7 minutes 18.0 seconds (4038 seconds)
Total Time: 1 hours 10 minutes 10.0 seconds (4210 seconds)
quite similar to your run.
Ideas?
John

This has come up in a couple of threads already - it is a new feature in pov
3.5 with rather confusing defaults. Basically, (as I understand it), Pov
3.5 prevents you from accessing any files outside the directory where you
perform the render from (or something like that), unless you explicitely
allow otherwise in your povray.conf. Here's what I put in my
/usr/local/etc/povray.conf:
----
[File I/O Security]
none
[Shellout Security]
allowed
----
And in my ~/.povrayrc:
----
Library_Path=/usr/local/share/povray-3.5/include
----
Not quite sure why it worked for you with the official version and not with
mine (maybe they've changed the defaults in the official binary?).

It works fine. The only problem I had is the one you mentionned.
Thanks for the speed it brought.

That was it, Ken, Thanks!
Results:
Time For Parse: 0 hours 0 minutes 4.0 seconds (4 seconds)
Time For Photon: 0 hours 1 minutes 24.0 seconds (84 seconds)
Time For Trace: 0 hours 33 minutes 12.0 seconds (1992 seconds)
Total Time: 0 hours 34 minutes 40.0 seconds (2080 seconds)
Just under 50% of the unoptimized version... Amazing!

This is mentioned over and over... But no-one has mentioned which *other*
options you have which you can put there. Perhaps not everyone wants to
allow everything.

Certainly - it just didn't particularly matter to me, and I haven't taken
the time to research it yet. It did occur to me when I read your other
post on this subject that making everything read-only but not writable
might be a more sensible default since it's not like PovRay is running as a
server or in any way revealing data to others. And this would still
protect against malicious scripts which try to trample data. Anyway, just
my 2 cents.
