Nah, too big, and the overhead is already there.

My reasoning is: I want to be on friendly terms with LL, so I will try to 
avoid adding grid load when possible. From that POV, I will ship a cache file 
if it's easy enough for me to do so.

On the other hand, the avatar DB would run into the multi-MB range even if 
efficiently packed, plus the dataset is huge and most people wouldn't even 
see 1% of it under normal usage. So not really worth it. Now, I don't see why 
it currently expires entries at all, unless name changes are actually 
happening. I'd just keep the data around indefinitely.


I've got my own key DB, btw, although probably not as complete.
