AEbenchCS6 : the original output module didn't work on my machine, so I =
rendered TGA sequence, no compression to a 10K drive : 7min 5sec

however, with rays set to 5, this isn't much of a test. you need to set =
it to 12 or 16 to really start seeing the difference.=20

Robot4JS, QT animation ( needed to install QT onto machine, DUH! ) : 19 =
min 25 sec

ran test 2nd time after clearing cache: 19:16

seemed like when I got 1/2way into this, the render got a lot slower. =
the first 1/2 it ran right through. GPU loads were averaging 65-75%

Config : Win 7 Z800 12c (24VC) @2.67ghz Q4000 + C2075
