 I just ran povray on isocacti.pov using the optimization settings present
in the Makefile that you sent me. Just give POV a few seconds. There's
something about this particular scene which makes building the kd-tree take
a little bit more time than I'd like -- I suspect it's all the rocks
intersecting with the ground. On my P4 3.0GHz machine here, it takes about
5 seconds to build the kd-tree for that particular scene.
