I agree that it should be compile time.

I like that suggestion!

Yes! 'cause I don't need it and don't want to lose the memory.

That's what I do. (computers should be obedient, SILENT tools.)

Yes! Maybe I should point out that caching is required for multi-image
and Multi-table support. (You can't have a bunch of bitmaps (or offscreen
windows) without filling up the heap.

Yes and yes! Tho maybe 'dynamic scrollbar' should be a compile time
option so 'lesser' devices can leave it out.
And... I can't wait to get the multi-image(/table) branch and the HEAD

I would rather spend 10 hours reading someone else's source code than
10 minutes listening to Musak waiting for technical support which isn't.
