I was going to provide some 'real world' figures for you from POVray,
but for some reason it doesn't seem to like RiscBSD :-(

It compiles fine, but on running, crashes out with a data abort, at
address 0x0000000c. If anyone can help, I can provide more info.

By the way, does the RiscBSD compiler do FP in the same way as the
RISCOS one does? IE - assemble FPA instructions into the binary, then
these are trapped when excecuted by the emulator ?
