No, for some scenes the cache is simply not effective. The cache will not
benefit from increasing the memory available to POV-Ray, all it does is to
fast make the free memory "available" to POV-Ray. You can find a few more
details on the http://mac.povray.org/help_info.html page.

Is the -45% just a typo or was it really a negative number?
