## Caching

For better performance, this stitcher use caching mechanism. The full image size would be GigaBytes!!!, so
the cache is limited, max size that can be cached: 720 x 720 x 128 (approximately 70MB).
It uses OS temporary directory (`Path.GetTempPath` or `/tmp`), please make sure it's writable.

No, this doesn't break the rule, the cache is created and used AFTER the first API request.

Use cases:
- consecutive request with the same rect and scale (e.g. "A1:AE55" then "AE1:A55")
