That is the basic idea, yes.

Odd, how much off is it by?
Hmmm, when I think about it, rabbit probably only counts the
resource data, not the http headers, that may cause the real size to be
quite a few times larger than the resource size, especially if you
get lots of really small resources.
I will think about the correct way to handle this. Probably want to
add the header sizes to the cache size.
One day I will try to make the header handling better as well...

What happen if you lower the cache sizes? will it stay nicely.
How much data do the cache status page say that rabbit holds?
Also: what file system do you use? will it waste space for lots of small
files (since rabbits cache usually is just that).
