Whats the problem with this cache? It is suposed to be updated when you edit those files, so it is transparent to you if it exists or not.
Why do you need the overhead?

Do you have an example for that ? Like always creating a big object in
a  for ever loop ?

He means, make a huge program that fills the entire memory, forcing the OS to unload unneeded files. That will be like a virus.
