Use without using the CACHE folder

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, thanks for the cool script. It works very well except I wish to be able to 
use it without the caching folder. 
I've looked at the scrip and tried setting CACHE_USE to false but it still 
likes to write all the images to the cache folder. I've also set the CACHE_SIZE 
to 2 but it never deletes the contents of the cache directory. 

Is there something else I can try to switch caching off?
Thanks very much.

why do you want to disable caching? That will just put your server under more 
strain

Becuase I am limited by disk space.

TimThumb is not designed to be run without caching so there's no way to disable 
it. I really don't recommend disabling caching as it's going to be a processor 
killer.

OK, thanks BinaryMoon. 
I love the cropping....being able to throw an image at it and it crops it 
without messing the ratio up. Might have to find something else, I've got a 
virtual server and the disk space will fill up quickly when users upload 
images.

You should really just cache (so if the user reloads 5-10 times the image isn't 
regenerated - then cleanup old files created more than 1 day ago every day 
using a Cronjob

Because of SAE (cloud) Web Service is a distributed environment, so when users 
need to share the cache of some form of small key-value data,  need to use 
Memcache service, so you can quickly respond to data, and can reduce the 
back-end storage pressure

I use the "cloud" services is the need for new code cache!
Example:

    Memcache service currently offers the following interfaces:

     memcache_init - MC link initialization
     memcache_get - for MC data
     memcache_set - into the MC data

   Examples of use:

     $ mmc = memcache_init ();
     if ($ mmc == false)
         echo "mc init failed \ n";
     else
     {
         memcache_set ($ mmc, "key", "value");
         echo memcache_get ($ mmc, "key");
     }

I have an issue where one of my website has 1000 images and posts.  When it 
starts caching, I get a message saying 100s of my files are changing from my 
security tool in wordpress and my website runs really slow for several hours 
and some of the pages go missing until its finished.  Is there any way to 
manage the caching better so it doesnt effect the website going down.
