I have benchmarked Relux with the Radiance (or 'Raytracer', as they call
it now) engine under Windows. This was done with Process Monitor, which
is free download from the M$ site:

It's not quite the same as the UNIX 'time' command, but saves you
sitting there with the old stop watch.
What you do is you launch PM and set up a filter for 'rpict', and/or
anything else you wish to benchmark. Now run the benchmark. PM will
capture the start and end time of this process. You can export the
result to a text file. You still need to work out the runtime:
runtime = end - start.
It's not terribly elegant, but does work.
PM tends to be a little temperamental. I never got it to work on certain
machines. It also might crash unexpectedly.
Cheers
Axel
