Persistence of Vision ray-tracer takes 9 h 10 m to render dfwood.pov, which is an example script, on a 486/33. I rendered the same script with the same parameters (anti-aliasing being the most important) and the 040/25 NeXT color did it in 2 h 30 m 10 s. Intel is a joke. I can see why IBM picked it, given their mainframes. Regards, David K. Drum
