As I read on, I'm guessing that "the cache" they refer to is
actually the "Snapshot" of the database described as:
"When an EODatabaseContext fetches objects from a database, a
snapshot is recorded of the state of the fetched database row. A
snapshot is a dictionary of a row’s primary keys, class properties,
foreign keys used in relationships that are class properties, and
the attributes of an entity that participate in optimistic locking.
You can imagine that an application that fetches hundreds of rows
of data builds up a large cache of snapshots. "
And furthermore, editing contexts are usually "per/session" and
Snapshots are usually "per/application". Correct?
There is one snapshot are per EOF Stack (centered on an
EOObjectStoreCoordinator)[1], and by default there is one EOF stack
per application - you can create additional EOF stacks, but snapshots
are not automatically synchronized.

There is one 'defaultEditingContext' per session, but relying on the
defaultEC alone is not recommended as abandoned edit operations may
result in dirtied data. In general it is recommended that you
'sandbox' editing operations in their own peer or child EC.
Note: If you create your own ECs you must assume responsibility for
correctly locking and unlocking them. For this reason I personally
recommend using Project Wonder and it's EC auto-locking.
