Don't know if today fossil 2.3 honors the deprecated default_cache_size pragma/header option, but on Admin tab you can run pragma default_cache_size=2147483648 to set it to 2GB always (afai understand it doesn't use negative values to set cache size in number of pages). I used to "hack" fossil source code to always use big caches for import git or svn repositories. Don't know if there are other ways to execute pragmas before the import, each fossil invocation is independent so setting it as pragma cache_size won't work.
