Caching

All queries are cached for five minutes by default. If you don’t want to use the cached value, then set the (first) cache argument to false.

You can adjust the default caching time limit by setting the R_VERSIONS_CACHE_LIMIT environment variable in milliseconds. E.g. the default five minutes is 5 * 60 * 1000 = 300000.
