Hi,

WebView does not have concept of aleternative Providers for Cache,
Cookie management and their Sync cousins.
May be we can replace CacheManager via  -Xbootclasspath
See my unanswered post on this subject:

Somebody on Google team - this is an urgent need for our open source
project http://bhoost.com and I am sure for other developers who use
WebView. The capability to provide alternative class should be very
easy to add. And it must be on all shipping handsets otherwise
experimentation with cache management is impossible!

It is especially important since current CacheManager has memory
trashing bug. It also allocates 2M RAM for cache and does not allow to
control the size of cache. In some cases, like in Bhoost - this 2M
cache is a waste and not needed at all (Bhoost uses iUI-like technique
of caching last N rendered pages). Because of this unused cache and
memory trashing the VM gets to 5M HEAP limit and starts doing GC every
couple of seconds consuming all CPU.
By the way - any way to change the HEAP limit to higher value (any way
we can control -Xmx)?

If anybody from Google reads this - please take it as an urgent
request, please.
