Hm. 381 MB are massive, then. Maybe I can find reproduce it
and help tracking it down with a modified APR.

It's technically correct, because the "static" per-process cache does
get disabled and all that's left is memory dynamically allocated for
an open connection (svn_fs_t, actually).
But the doc string is misleading. I would suggest to change it to
"0 switches to dynamically sized caches".
