Thanks for the clarification. 

Being curious, is there a way to see what the size of the cache is? I want to 
believe, but i do not have the impression memory is being reallocated to later 
users. My gut feeling is that the code change permits repeated calls to a 
function in a way that it reuses memory it received before (rather than a 
memory leak of repeatedly allocating a brand new buffer). What I expected, more 
accurately hoped for, is that cache was either freed and/or made available for 
reuse. 

Since I am on my phone atm I am less successful at finding documentation. I 
would be very grateful for a link to the relevant information and I’ll look 
further, time permitting. Thx again,

Michael
