This question is probably best suited for the 3.7 beta, but I do know some have
gotten 3.6.1 working with OpenMPI, so here goes:

How does povray distribute jobs? If there are multiple cores (let's say 3 slaves
and a single master), how are jobs queued and distributed to cores?

For example, core 1 finishes its job and sits idle. There are jobs waiting on
cores 2 and 3 - is the master clever enough to tell core 1 to take up the slack?
Or does the master leave these jobs until the end and process the jobs itself?

Any information on this would be great.

Thanks.
