Thank you for the feedback.  I really want to include the new POVRay in this
article I'm writing.  The article will compare a dual dual-core Opteron box
against a dual quad-core Xeon box (+wt8).  So, should I just go with what I
have here, or can you provide those new benchmark files?

Thanks,
Augustus
