A LRU cache is similar to the kind of cache used by a web browser. New items are placed into the top of the cache. When the cache grows past its size limit, it throws away items off the bottom. The trick is that whenever an item is -accessed-, it is pulled back to the top. The end result of all this is that items which are frequently accessed tend to stay in the cache.
