  Actually that depends on whether POV-Ray creates a transformation matrix
for the object/camera or not.
  Sometimes an object (and I suppose the camera as well) can be transformed
and a transformation matrix will not be created for it if it's not
necessary (one example: If you translate a sphere, POV-Ray will just
modify the center of the sphere instead of creating a transformation
matrix).
  Theoretically rendering an object without a transformation matrix should
be slightly faster than one with such matrix.
  However, I suppose the speed difference is so minimal it usually doesn't
matter.
