Counterproductive... hm, we don't know what the poet wanted to tell us 
with that line. But before there's more speculation, here is where to 
strike it out (as Soft hinted):

panel_preferences_network.xml line 32
- between '<slider ' and 'name="cache_size"' -
- there is 'max_val="1000"'
which is the maximum by the slider settable cache size in MB.

Cheers,
