With 8MB default value for cache_mem, memory cache is probably a poor
backup regardless for the maximum_object_size_in_memory and smaller
object size values are better when the cache size is so small.

Perhaps maximum_object_size_in_memory default should be computed based
on cache_mem? We could try to set maximum_object_size_in_memory to cache
10,000 objects, with 8KB minimum and 64KB maximum, for example.

HTH,

Alex.
P.S. It would be nice to update cache_mem docs to point to
maximum_object_size_in_memory.
