+ * XXX: This is a _total_ hack, a real kludge. :-/ The metadata cache currently
+ * responds very poorly when an object is inserted into the cache (or
+ * resized) that is larger than the current cache size. It waits through
+ * an entire 'epoch' of cache operations to resize the cache larger (getting
+ * _very_ poor performance), instead of immediately accommodating the large
+ * object by increasing the cache size.
+ *
+ * So, what we are doing here is to look at the current cache size, check
+ * if the new local heap will overwhelm the cache and, if so, resize the
+ * cache to be large enough to hold the new local heap block along with
+ * leaving room for other objects in the cache.
+ *
+ * John will be working on a fix inside the cache itself, so this special
+ * case code here can be removed when he's finished. - QAK, 2007/12/21
