This behavior shows up under 'top' on Linux, and task manager under NT; I've
run POV on both platforms.  And indeed, as another post mentioned, this
particular scene uses radiosity, IIRC.

So what about #2, in my original post?  Can I expect to render the image in
halves and get reduced memory usage?  (I suppose I can try it and see, but
I was hoping for an informed opinion, rather than experimental
guesswork...)

Thanks,
