    This is already better than what we have in 2.0 - which is caching 
everything with no limit.
    
    I think a global cache is really fairly complicated since we can no longer 
rely on the Java GC to manage the lifetime of the cache entries. Unless we want 
to do cache GC in a finalizer, I don't think this is worth it.
