[cups.general] RIPCache for improved performance

Simple question: For a print server that potentially serves out lots of
lots of fairly large jobs, is fiddling with the RIPCache size in
cupsd.conf useful.  Generally I'd assume raising it from its 8m default
would improve performance of the rasterization of certain jobs, but I
thought I'd ask before doing something stupid.  A bit of explanation
about the RIPCache option (beyond the sysadmin manual) would be greatly
appreciated.

Incidently: I'm using CUPS version 1.1.23 on a dedicated print server
where almost all jobs come from Adobe PS drivers on windows boxes (via
Samba) or (as PDFs?) from Mac OSX (mostly Tiger) boxes.

Thanks in advance,
