POVBENCH: Release 9703
	
Here follows results of my ongoing POV benchmarks survey for the standard Skyvase.pov file.	
Please visit http://www.osea.demon.co.uk/povbench and fill out the form for inclusion in the next release,	
Or alternatively mail them to povbench@osea.demon.co.uk.	

The "standard" script file used by the PoV team is skyvase.pov - in the distribution set.	
Skyvase.pov is a good choice as a benchmark shouldn't be too long to	
lock out the machine from use.  It contains an awful lot of reflections.	

Use the command line:	
povray -i skyvase.pov +v1 +ft -x +mb25 +a0.300 +j1.000 +r3 -q9 -w640 -H480 -S1 -E480 -k0.000 -mv2.0 -b1000 > results.txt	

If you're running a multi-tasking OS, try to give POV full attention.	
I hope you find these results informative and useful.	

Thanks also to Michael Zacherl <mz@bacher.co.at> for suggesting and producing POVmarks and US$/POVmarks for price/performance comparisons.
