It's not because some details are small that you need to reduce mm_per_unit.
That value need to reflect the actual scalling of your scene.
The default of 10 mean that each pov unit is actualy 1cm whide.
Setting it to 1 mean that one unit is 1mm whide and a value of 25.4 is
good for a scene constructed in inches.
