please lets talk in this bug report.  

Also we spoke about removing the image cache all together.  Has any work been 
done on this?  Is there any hacky way that I could disable it to get perf/size 
numbers?

Printing and view-image depend on the image cache.
So disabling it is not as easy as I first thought.

And there is more discussion of using the image cache
for internal animated images...

Though we were discussing the possibility, we are not
planning to remove the image cache. 

Are you concerned about double buffering? and want to 
minimize resources?  We'll have to balance performance vs. resource usage
to see what tradeoff pays best.

In this case, it would be nice if we could clear the entry in necko's cache if 
we know that you have a copy in your buffer.
