5.5 The Option cache-size (malaga)

Malaga has a cache for word forms. You can set the cache size, i.e. the maximum number of words in the cache, to n with set cache-size n. If you set the cache size to 0, the cache will be deactivated.

When malaga analyses a word form or sentence, it tries to get a word form from the cache before it uses the morphology combination rules. Therefore, malaga separates the first word form from the remaining input. It uses spacing characters as separators; so if a word-form contains a space or does not end with a space, caching will not work.
