[postal2mac] Tweaking the .ini

[Jason Harris]

After a little digging around i've come to the conclusion that the 
cachesizemegs setting does not affect the amount of RAM the game uses, 
but rather the disk space used for cacheing textures and so on.  The 
Epic guys say that the engine does not actually use that much ram and 
increasing the size of the cache can be detrimental to performance.
