Default view, white with black background (sticks): Ray: total time: 15.68 sec. = 229.5 frames/hour. (15.68 sec. accum.)
Surface ray (white w/ black background): Ray: total time: 32.67 sec. = 110.2 frames/hour. (48.35 sec. accum.) About the times I've been seeing for equivalent work I've been doing. Different system but your times don't sound too different from what I've seen on our dual-G5 2.0 GHz with an older Radeon card. I'm running an Opteron 150 (2.4GHz) with 1GB DDR400 ECC registered and an MSI FX5700 LE on FC4.
