OK, thanks, we'll make the change.
Is this documentation generally useful? We struggled finding anything on
the details and nuances of the whole caching scheme. And it's critical
for scalable implementations.

Adrian,
Thanks for the clarification ... point taken ... we'll update the doc
with your comment.
Would you agree that it has minimal usage when it comes to the database
caching aspect of OFBiz?

"Use File Store? True indicates that the cache can grow beyond the
memory limit and will push additional elements to disk. This has
limited usefulness since the processing required to integrate with the
file system is roughly equivalent to retrieving from a database. We
recommend that this is set to false unless there is specific knowledge
or requirements to use a File Store."
That statement is overly simplistic. It assumes caches are used solely
for storing database data - when they are also used to store OFBiz
internal structures. Caching to disk can reduce the time required to
retrieve/parse many things that are not stored in the database.

This is a guide that we put together as we were coming to terms with
the OFBiz caching and memory scheme. Existing documentation, as far
as we could tell, was just about non-existent. Since the caching
scheme is so important from a performance and memory usage point of
view we decided to document our findings.
For anyone's review -- we'd be interested in any feedback:
