I didn't follow those discussions, but that's what I think we should do
as well.
Should we perhaps also add a max cache size in addition to the
`image-cache-eviction-delay'? I find it easy to get memory usage up to
several GiB when viewing large images, and all that happens in less than
five minutes. (That would be a separate feature request though, as this
bug is about the memory usage regression introduced in Image-Dired.)
Relatedly, image-mode could be smarter, and evict images manually from
the cache. Let's say that when flipping through images in a directory,
we only keep the previous N images (where N is, like, 5 or something).
