A macro is either cached in its entirety (in which case it is parsed
from memory when it is invoked), or it is not cached at all (in which
case it is parsed from file when it is invoked). The former is done if
the macro size is below the threshold of 64 kiB, while the latter is
done if the macros size is above the threshold.
