CAFs are, AIUI, things that are just values (i.e. things that don't take

Compiling with -caf-all might give you more useful information.
If that doesn't help then you might find it helpful to look at heap
profiles rather than just the normal profiler output.

I didn't understand that. If it's possible to give a small example then
that might help?
