I might be too dense today, but what exactly is the question?  Do you
wonder why Windows lets you use more than you ahve asked for?

I don't recommend such a low setting.  Windows expands and shrinks the
cache as needed, so you shouldn't need to limit it by a fixed number.

FWIW, my cache size is usually about 16MB, but a build of a large
package (e.g., Web2C) can take it up to 40MB (on a 64MB machine).  I
don't see any problem with these numbers.
