You could instead use a single instance with two cache_dir locations, one
with a relatively low max-size to reserve that directory for "small" objects.

You might also consider setting the maximum_object_size_in_memory
relatively low, even if you have quite a bit of RAM to work with. I have
caches with cache_mem set to 2GB, yet I set m_o_s_i_m to 128KB.
