The option was introduced to prevent a bug in older handspring models
which didn't handle feature memory properly. Typically the if user had
trouble viewing images, disabling this checkbox would disable the
cache and things would work a bit slower, but properly.

The modifications to the cache within the multiimage branch eliminate
the need for feature memory altogether thus making the checkbox
obsolete.

However, images encoded as a multiimage enjoy a much greater benifit
when caching is enabled than normal images. Disabling the cache really
doesn't serve much of any purpose anymore, regardless if its a
compiletime option IMO.
