I am living behind a 384KBit/s DSL and loading tiles is a pain in the
ass as it takes ages to fill a screen with tiles. 

So a large cache is VERY WELCOME. It got that large because i was
active in northern china which is a huge area.

I want that much data in my cache - But storing it into a single
directory is - uhm - broken - Filesystems are bad in storing huge
amount of files or directories into a single dir. This is why
all caches typically organize their files into trees - e.g. squid.

Normally josm had its cache dir set to something in /tmp which is even
more broken as /tmp is typically a tmpfs on most architectures. So using
josm fills up memory and swap and cache is deleted on reboot...

As sane default could be ~/.josm/tilecache but not a single directory.
