I see...no, that is not possible. A patch to do that would be a major 
effort requiring a lot of work to make sure all the needed data is saved 
to the file, and would only significantly speed up certain computation 
intensive scenes. The POB patch did something similar, but is 
unsupported and only available for an old version of POV-Ray.
