Does that mean we could finally have faster caustics renders?

* No.
This patch is dead, doesn't work on current blender and as far as I can tell nobody is working on it. The creator of this patch abandoned it because there are too many issues with his first design and he intended to start over from a clean plate to come up with something much more sophisticated. (Alias more complicated and time consuming).
Also a cycles developer just stated yesterday during the blender conference during one of the cycles talks that they do not think caustics are important for the majority of renders and they do not foresee any major improvements in the near future.
