As someone who travels with carry-on only (as much as possible), if I’m in economy I make sure to board as soon as I can to ensure there’s space in the overhead bins for my bag.
Carry-on is not the same as personal item. My backpack does not fit under 90% of seats, and if it did, I would have nowhere to put my feet, thus the importance of finding overhead space.
a cache shouldn’t slow down an app. If it’s slowing down an app, it’s using the cache wrong. There shouldn’t be any reason to clear a cache regularly. You should clear a cache when you need to for specific reasons like there is something bad/corrupt in the cache or you temporarily need the space used by the cache.
