Mine stays between 512K and 1024K--but I print to a quickdraw laser
printer and that requires fonts four times larger than the ones in
my documents. Thus it's the printing--not the screen display--that
prompts me to use a large cache.  Most people printing to a Postscript
printer should be able to live with a 256K cache.

My opinion only,
