That's already false,
[http://ccache.samba.org/manual.html#_cache_size_management the default is
1GB].

Because I don't consider cache compilation files to be Sage-related.
Imagine I want to compile a package X outside of Sage, a package which
happens to be part of Sage (I do that with PARI for example). Then it's a
pity that the cached object files for package X appear twice in my home
directory: once in `.ccache` and once in `.sage`.
My problem really boils down to this: why would you want a separate ccache
directory for Sage?
