Thanks, I'm therefore closing this bug.

Hi,

My image cache size grows really quick when browsing some images from
Emacs.  My recipe:

        emacs -Q
        M-: (clear-image-cache)
        Then, I open a image in a directory with other images.
        I hit 'n' 5 times (to open next 5 images).
        Each image is a JPG of about 1.3MiB.
        Then, M-x memory-report says:
           366 MiB  Total Image Cache Size

With such growth, Emacs quickly tells me that the memory is exhausted.
