If you look into this, note that there are major tricky issues here around
synchronization if you start trying to share caches between processes
without hammering perf.

Also, the gain from sharing these will not necessarily be large, for two
reasons:
* We already set a fairly small global size limit for the sum of all
resource caches (and the other caches are pretty trivial)
* Renderers in separate processes are very likely to be on separate sites
and have mostly disjoint cacheable sets
