Hmm. Really strange.

By idea from disk must be loaded the same info size,
And cache size should not affect.

Then idea comes -- may be issue in INIT of cache bugger itself?
It must be filed by zero. But it hard believe that
       memset( p, 0, 250MB )

Takes 20 seconds on Windows...

May be only if Windows is required to UNLOAD other applications from RAM to
disk to give 250MB to Valentina.


May be there is no sense to have such huge cache?
