Not a programmer so I may be making some things up but:

That was the case in the beginning but thanks to some Qt quirk it wasn't
possible to *stop* caching at some reasonable moment and whole album
thumbnails would be cached. The result was often significant slowing of
machine due to memory usage. Following popular request caching of
invisible thumbnails was switched off.

I hope situation changed and in future (as of 0.10 series) caching would
be possible.
