Any way to disable image caching?

hi, the cache folder is getting ridiculously large, any way to disable it?

also (just curiosity), can anyone kindly explain to me how moving a file from one folder to another folder on the same drive is making it load faster? is it because of relative paths?

TIA

Its not just moving the images, it is resizing them to the size the theme you use requires, which makes the file smaller so quicker to retrieve and show on screen. If you have a 1920x1080 image but the theme you use only uses that image in a very small 240x240 box, then it's resized to that size and stored in the cache folder.
