Yes, if we can make it dynamic, that should be even better.

Do we have a canonical way of checking the resolution of the screen that
the current frame is on?

That's an important consideration.  We have the `doc-view-clear-cache'
command, but perhaps we could do more, for example

a) a separate command to display the cache size, or
b) a warning when the cache size reaches some threshold, or
c) automatically cleaning up old files when the cache reaches some
   threshold,

or some combination of all of the above.
