Well, as people are wont to say nowadays - memory is cheap, and so is
disk. If I'm reading the code right, the regexp cache only takes 398 bytes
(worst case on a 64bit machine)... so 20 cache entries are only 7960 (~
7.75k).
There must be a misunderstanding, because the data in a cache
entry has variable size. Perhaps you're looking only at the
cache structure itself and not its contents.
