 # A cache 'factor' is a multiplier that can be applied to each of
 # Synapse's caches in order to increase or decrease the maximum
 # number of entries that can be stored.
+#
+# The configuration for cache factors (caches.global_factor and
+# caches.per_cache_factors) can be reloaded while the application is running,
+# by sending a SIGHUP signal to the Synapse process. Changes to other parts of
+# the caching config will NOT be applied after a SIGHUP is received; a restart
+# is necessary.
