How much memory are we talking about here?

If memory is allocated in chunks, then maybe a command-line parameter to 
set the chunk size would be useful for testing until an optimum solution 
is found.  Also, this would allow people with more RAM to use larger 
cache sizes as a default, avoiding the penalty completely.
