Agreed for long-term caching, but to solve this avatar issue 5 seconds should
be enough; if using temporary files is not accepted (I see no reason why it
shouldn't;  we are not talking about persistent storage) you can still cache
avatars in RAM (maybe the last N avatars retrieved) and free them after a few
seconds.
