<<Surprisingly, on the Alpha, ray tracing was FASTER than non-ray tracing on
the same machine! In fact a scene on a stock 040/28 took 4944secs and on the
Alpha took only 353secs. That's a factor of 14x faster.>>
Add to that a real-time polygon shader and SGI had better come up with
something real good, real fast or they're looking at a pretty bleak future.
There are already a couple dozen of these cards in the works for NT machines!
