Does pp create a new cache for each program it compiles?

It's based on a digest of the contents of the executable file. Any given
executable
will always use the same cache. If you re-compile it with different code, it
will
generate a different cache. Even pp itself will generate a cache. No harm in
deleting
them, or you can:
set PAR_CLEAN=1
or eventually
set PAR_GLOBAL_CLEAN=1
while you are testing a lot of code changes, so they don't accumulate.
