 * I saw on another thread that you felt 5MB could work for $MAX_CACHE_SIZE. Is 
   there a reason we could not increase this to a higher value? Are you concerned
   about memory consumption or does the larger cache size outweigh the performance
   value due to a cache being so large that searches are slower than the original
   query?
