Description

Currently it caches, but it is not friendly for flash memory and is unacceptable for the ones who low on space. I insist on couple of options setting maximum sizes allowed to be consumed by cache. One is for cache in ram, one is for cache in sdcard. Value 0 must completely disable the corresponding cache.

Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Locate the cache implementation and the Android settings entry points first; done means separate RAM and SD-card cache limits can be configured, and setting either value to 0 disables that cache.
