 The more cache the faster the application. How much cache usage would be acceptable?

 I see it differently. I care less how big the cache is, I care more that when I clear it down it doesn’t trend to zero, but instead reduces by around 25%

It was about 7.5GB before I cleared it from the app.

 Also when I’ve deleted the app and reloaded it. With a near zero cache size I don’t see a dramatic performance degradation.

I appreciate Damus has a pseudo relay built in, so I understand the cache reflects this, but even so 8GB for a cache is enormous!

 I’m not certain we have concord.

That’s like a painter asking how many pots of paint I’d like to paint my house with.

The cache size is self determining and a secondary issue to the two points I’ve raised:

1. Clearing the cache doesn’t do what it says. 

2. The cache size doesn’t noticeably change the app’s performance significantly as far as I can test.

 This is interesting and has been mentioned as a problem for multiple nostr apps. I will look into it for fun 🕺🕺

 I wonder whether android supports user defined cache. Then each user could configure a maximum that suits them. 

#Amethyst has also infrequent issues with bloated cache/data.
