I think in that post most of the guys agreed that the setting doesn't help
the benchmarks at all, but seemed to help actually game play. On my system
with a 6800GT I didn't see any difference.

I then used a 9800 Pro, which had minor stutter problems and it seemed to
help with the stutters, but frame rates never improved.

Also note you do need to set image_usecache to "1", but you will also need
to set  image_cacheminK to something like "1000" else the game will crash on
load. I have 2GB of ram in my system, so I did these settings

seta image_useCache "1"
seta image_cacheMegs "512"
seta image_cacheMinK "262100"

Again, I can't say for sure that I really got any gain out of it. I think if
your system has the juice to handle the game, then these settings don't
offer anything. On lesser systems it might.
