+<code>min_cache_ttl</code> work in conjunction with each other to maintain a balance between cache memory
+usage and cache entry availability. You must be using <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse#help-synapse-is-slow-and-eats-all-my-ramcpu">jemalloc</a>

+<li><code>max_cache_memory_usage</code> sets a ceiling on how much memory the cache can use before caches begin to be continuously evicted.
+They will continue to be evicted until the memory usage drops below the <code>target_memory_usage</code>, set in
+the flag below, or until the <code>min_cache_ttl</code> is hit.</li>
+<li><code>target_memory_usage</code> sets a rough target for the desired memory usage of the caches.</li>
+<li><code>min_cache_ttl</code> sets a limit under which newer cache entries are not evicted and is only applied when
+caches are actively being evicted/<code>max_cache_memory_usage</code> has been exceeded. This is to protect hot caches
