Hm, seems that this issue is not repaired completely with RC 7. I haven't used
+c much recently, but I can only remember one flaw. In this special case I
overlooked that I had entered another block size within the command line field
and had forgotten to clear the field resuming an other rendering using an
ini-file. Since the Windows version always uses given settings from the
rendering before, I attributed the problem to my fault not erasing the old
Settings, assuming that the ini-file options and the options from the command
line field were added. Unfortunatelly I cannot reproduce this behaviour since I
rerendered the image completely and didn't stored the state-file. And may be my
assumption is wrong.

If you have a smaller area with a long rendering time (may be a diamond) but the
bigger part of the picture is fast, then smaller block sizes can speed up the
total rendering time (slightly).

Best regards,
Michael
