One thing I've always found with amiga ray-tracers is they bog down the system.
This is not their fault, however, as the Amiga's priority system is not
in general usage.
What I usually do is either change the priority of the CLI before
starting the raytracer to priority -2, or call up Xoper (on hot key from
popcli) and do the same, so instead of contending with every other user
program, it just eats up idle cycles.
