Please don't. I'm happy not needing to download imagery again and again 
from low bandwidth connections. There was some work ongoing on 
supporting database files for the imagery instead of single files. This 
might improve the situation for you as well.
I don't know the status of the development. And it does not solve the 
issue of expiring tiles based on age or size. In case someone implements 
it, that value should be configurable.
