I can put in a preferences line to let you change this, but let me
ask a naive question -- why do you want to?  Since Pan won't expire
any article that a task's got a reference to, the queue can grow far
larger than the preferred maximum so long as the task exists.
You could, for example, download a dvd iso without having to
increase the cache size past 10M.
