I've been reading about performance benchmarks for PovRay on the G5 and it
seems that there is a wide disparity in results.  Several have posted
benchmark results (using the built-in Benchmark scene) of not much over 1
minute with a dual 2Ghz machine, while others have posted upwards of 20
minutes.  Running PovRay 3.6.0 on my dual 2 Ghz G5 machine, I'm getting
results of about 38 minutes.  I don't see any issues related to CPU usage.
It appears to use both processors equally at about 50%.  Any ideas about
why there is such a difference?

Thanks for any light anyone can shed on the subject.

Dave.
