I know that there are some diminishing returns with web browsers - they can get to the point where, if the cache is too big, they spend more time tracking down the item than it would take to just go fetch a fresh one. One of the crucial things would be: what is in main memory, relating to on-disk cache? A side effect would be.. the app size in memory gets to the point where the OS starts swapping other things out.... It's all a balance ;) Would be good to see the Linden guidance on this.
