At some point I remember David Faure, iirc as part of his QMimeType
work, removed part of sycoca, but left the remaining bits as a per 
user cache *because* we allow the user to modify things.

I don't know how much of it is still relevant, but I do think we should
be testing it, both on modern ssd systems, but given our occasional
marketing drive about keeping older systems running, especially also 
on older systems with a spinning metal disk, rather than a bit handwavy
