Just for reference: A (fontwise) well equipped OI_151a9 has between
150 and 200 files with about 9-11 MB contents. The hipster server
without Mate actively running has 11MB and 175 files. A second
older hipster server without Mate usage is at 200 files and 5 MB.

Maybe the high number comes from the fact that it just repeatedly
renewed the caches ? Does it still fill up to that number if you
remove all those cachefiles ?
