Sadly, for me, not a real business requirement... I know how the cache 
works and so can make allowances.

For newbies, it does make death-by-swap an all too common phenomenon if 
they don't see the connection between object size and memory used by the 
cache...

How much work in terms of days/money do you reckon it would take?

cheers,

Chris
