I've seen a mixed bag of results on the list. Most seem to share my 
experience; that is to say, no speed up what so ever - scanline or 
ray trace. I've tested these libs on my GVP 040 (A2000) and GVP 030/50 
(A1200) with much the same disapointing results. On a very long ray trace 
(6+ hours), the stock libs are actually a couple minutes faster than the 
040 libs with the 882 libs falling in between.

More exhaustive testing may seem to be in order, but to date, the only speed 
improvement I see with these libs in on the benchmark tests.

Some of you are having more luck, perhaps you could share more info about 
your set ups. I am not a programer, but it occures to me that different 
apps running in the background, different H/W, etc may all interplay with 
differing results.
