  Accuracy and unit choice?

Hi!

Is it mentioned anywhere in the docs how much the chosen scale affects 
accuracy? I am doing a simple room modeling and chosen an expected scale 
of 1 unit = 1 metre. I get a few artifacts  and it looks like if I 
multiply everything by 10 or 100 it can get rid of those. The smallest 
objects in my scene have dimension of about 0.005 units.

So what is the preferred scale or the smallest preferable dimension? How 
can one ensure that POV-Ray can be the most accurate?
