Hm. Very probably overkill. I did that to get sharp edges on the reflective
caustics. The diamond is appr. 2 units wide and to get a decent photon
resolution on the surface I thought spacing 0.02 would be nice. In the scene
I uploaded I used spacing 0.01 which is very very probably overkill :) 

Suggestion for photons: what if you could set refractive and reflective
spacing independently? I don't need all those photons for refraction but
from what I've tried here I seem to need'em for reflection.
