In detail

A directory under /tmp by default. For a campaign of a hundred thousand messages sharing one header image, the cache is the difference between one request and a hundred thousand — and between being a normal client of someone's CDN and being an attack on it. Being under /tmp, it is also subject to whatever cleans /tmp, which at worst costs a re-fetch.
