Emacs does have weak hashes...  Hm...

Anyway, there's code that tries to keep the cache small:

	  /* If the number of cached images has grown unusually large,
	     decrease the cache eviction delay (Bug#6230).  */
	  delay = XFIXNUM (Vimage_cache_eviction_delay);
	  if (nimages > 40)
	    delay = 1600 * delay / nimages / nimages;

But it works solely on the number of images in the cache, and not the
size of the images.  So it's a heuristic that could be tweaked pretty
easily, I think?
