It seems strange to us that there is only a 3 minute difference between render times. If the failure is that the 040's coprocessor is not being used then the time lag should be >> than 3 minutes. (I think, unless the 040 is insanely faster than the 030 (benchmarks aside)). Take the case of the lowly XT with a math coprocessor and a brand new 386SX. If both are given the same floating point operation, the XT is going to beat the pants off of the 386SuX by a lot. And since XTs are somewhere around 1/10 the instruction speed of a 386SuX, you might be suprized, but it is the case none the less. –Pete
