Yes, one of the images I'm using is 3264 by 2448 pixels times 3 octets
(RGB, I guess) and we get about 23MiB... so those numbers seems ok.

In image.c line 2079, there is already a mecanism to automatically lower
this delay if the cache has grown large (so I think we're covered here).
But OTOH, at line 3010, we can see that this cache will grow no matter
what. Maybe we should have parameter (maybe a custom) that limit this
growth up to a certain point and then start uncaching older images.
WDYT?
