"Disk image cache code unnecessarily complicates SharedBuffer implementation. We can remove this now since we don't enable it in WebKit2 on iOS."

I guess as the code was being used only in iOS and they were not enabling it on webkit2, they just removed it to simplify the SharedBuffer impl. Thing is this is still useful on the rpi and we made the code cross platform (see bug #124167), although enabled only on the gtk port.

<span class="quote">&gt; I didn't know this DiskImageCache. So, the idea is to cache decoded images

&gt; I wonder why it was removed from the IOS port.</span >

Yes, you are correct, and the cached data is mmaped also.
