For your information there is now a more realistic ray tracer in JoCaml.
<http://jocaml.inria.fr/#examples>
Speedups can be impressive, but no real-time yet, even on
a 2x11x2Ghz grid.

The JoCaml ray tracer is a distributed/concurrent version of
the Camls'R Us entry at ICFP 2000 programming contest.
