The object cache is a memory block on the client that allows applications to store entire objects and to navigate among them without round trips to the server. OBJECT_CACHE_OPTIMAL_SIZE specifies (in bytes) the size to which the session object cache is reduced when the size of the cache exceeds the maximum size.
