For my particular case, the goal is to cache many plots to disk so
that they can be replayed later, but still in the same R session. The
plots may be replayed in the current session, and they may be replayed
in a future one. Using a disk cache seems like a straightforward way
to make the cached plots work for both cases. Also, the number of
plots is such that a memory-based cache could consume significant
amounts of memory.
