If you choose to generate optimized media for your media pool, it will transcode full Prores or DNxHR clips from these (based on your project settings). Optimized Media does not get re-rendered when you make changes to your timeline. You are confusing Optimized Media with Render Cache.
Exactly.

Are you also specifying a smaller size? I generally use Quarter resolution. This makes a huge difference to the optimised media.
If DNxHR HQ is too heavy, try SQ. You really need to experiment to find out what works best for your computer.
EDIT: Wait. Your computer is a power-house compared to mine. You should be having no trouble at all. Bizarre!
