Does anyone know if there are size limits of both memory and disk

SeaMonkey from its restored tabs:
Information about the Cache Service

I remember in v2.0.14 and earlier, it can only go to 8,192 entries or
something as the maximum. I set to disk caches to 1 GB, and never saw it
go that high due to 8,192 entries limit.
Thank you in advance. :)
The preferences, values and comments (//) are from grepref.js
this file has a date of 1/1/2010
The additional information is from
http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries
and individual pages in About:config_entries
some of the data in About:config_entries is out of date.
pref("browser.cache.disk.capacity", 256000);
// Size (in KB) explicitly set by the user. Used when smart_size.enabled
== false
Maximum amount of hard drive space in KB to use for cache.
pref("browser.cache.disk.max_entry_size", 51200); // 50 MB
// Max-size (in KB) for entries in disk cache. Set to -1 for no limit.
pref("browser.cache.memory.max_entry_size", 5120);
// -1 = determine dynamically, 0 = none, n = memory capacity in kilobytes
Maximum amount of memory (RAM) to use to cache decoded images and chrome
Recommended amounts based on amount of RAM you have
Physical RAM Memory Cache (in KB)
32 MB 2048
64 MB 4096
128 MB 6144
256 MB 10240
512 MB 14336
1 GB 18432
2 GB 24576
4 GB 30720
8 GB and up 32768
pref("browser.history.maxStateObjectSize", 655360);
I assume this is in KB
To make changes either create a user.js file in your profile or
Enter about:config in the urlbar
You can edit pref.js in your profile but not while SeaMonkey is running.
pref.js contains the preferences that the user has modified from
default. To remove a preference you have to edit pref.js.
these are the changes I have made in about:config
browser.cache.disk.capacity;1048576
browser.cache.disk.max_entry_size;102400
browser.cache.memory.max_entry_size;14336
