+1 for checking what is the behavior of scikit-learn + libsvm if the cache size is too big for a given machine (I don't know how to test this though). If we get a low level C error (or a segfault) that cannot be mapped to an explicit python exception such as `MemoryError` with a nice message then +1 for a conservative choice (200MB), otherwise +1 for a more real life 500MB+ default setting.
