Switch back to former, much smaller BDB memory pool size (RhBug:752897)
- A larger cache is beneficial in various scenarios, but triggers
horrible worst-case performance under memory pressure (or so my
current theory goes, there might be other factors too). The
worst-case degration is orders of magnitude bigger than the best-case
improvements from the larger cache and for many use-cases doesn't
make a whole lot difference. We could/should tune the cache with
priorizing indexes and all, and perhaps dynamically select the
cache size but for now, the 1Mb cache size is known to "just work".
