I don't think we evict images from the cache if they are being displayed
though, do we?  I imagine that we would evict them if they haven't been
displayed for more than N seconds *and* we are above the max memory
threshold.  Where N is some new variable or constant smaller than
'image-cache-eviction-delay'.
