That was also my impression when I played with the Beta just before Siggraph. Quite fast (the version I had was limited two cores), but still a bit bugy (sometimes hung when drawing a ender Region). Don't know how much it has evolved since then. What I also remember was that it would not render volume clouds correctly (e.g. the Comet demo scene that ships with Soft), they would always be very blocky as if it always used a very rough lookup table even when full raytracing was specified in the Volume shader. I don't know if that has been the case also with previous versions, I never tried that with an older version of 3Delight, or if it's specific to the new one. Other than that it looks pretty cool, and it's quite affordable too.
