> I didn’t notice this thread before I asked a related question: [Database Cache Size Behavior Question](https://forums.plex.tv/t/database-cache-size-behavior-question/822657/1) Before folks go crazy increasing the cache size, the new 40MB default is a 20x increase over the previous value. Previously Plex’s SQLite cache\_size was 2000 pages, and Plex’s model database page\_size is 1024 bytes. The end result was a SQLite cache size of about 2MB.
