 Since you have an implementation, do you have any numbers? I couldn't find 
anything in the links other than the half a megabyte for the BlueCurve theme 
in Owen's mail, which looks to me more like a broken implementation. You 
cache only icon locations, and I'd expect the directories contents to be 
cached after a first application runs, so I'm just wondering if this all 
would be worth it.
