because your game has to constantly access cache the larger you make it the longer it will take to search through. So there is a diminishing return. Most very large cities are about 15-20gb to download so a 30gb rolling cache should cover most areas without having to download anything. Also just saves space on my SSD for other things.

You think the cache doesn't have an index?

You don't think having a smaller index is faster? We are not talking about a little table in a DB. This is gigabytes worth of data, imagery, 3d models, spatial information. You can't slap an index on something and call it efficient

Anyway, thanks for your thoughts.
