The cache worker is only used periodically when the about:home cache needs updating. We should try shutting down the worker when it's not in use to reclaim resources.

Priority: -- → P1
Priority: P1 → P3

Instead of shutting it down on a timer or something, I'll use memory-pressure, which is probably a better indication that the user needs resources.
