The attached parameter file requires 38 minutes of rendering time on my aging P200 machine. I wonder if it would render in 1/10th the time on a state-of-the-art P4-2000mhz machine.
Somehow I doubt it.
You are correct to doubt it! It takes 7:46.64 on my P4-2532MHz running XP Pro. A fine example of Amdahl's Law... Iain Stirling. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.401 / Virus Database: 226 - Release Date: 09/10/2002
