It is a kind of "cache" when allocating lots of small blocks of memory
(which POV-Ray does very often). Try it and you will see the difference with
almost any scene. Try for example pyramid2.pov from the macro examples that
come with POV-Ray, and look especially at the parsing time. Renbdering is
fast also, but this example shows the improvement very drastically.
