Ok, the app contains a whole lot of pictures and text fields,
searched with RegEx. The size is 650 MB, so what is the ideal
cache size? I made speed tests and it was a lot faster searching
with a 16MB cache, than using a 4MB cache.

Ok, but I can't do that until the app is closed.
So how can I prevent the first search from being so slow?
I thought of doing a "dummy" search in the background,
while loading the app, so that the first user search is actually
the second search, which will be faster.
