        # 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.

        # The number of events to cache in memory. Not affected by
        # caches.global_factor.
        #
        #event_cache_size: 10K

          # set.
          #
          # This can also be set by the "SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR" environment
          # variable. Setting by environment variable takes priority over
          # setting through the config file.
