That's a low hit rate.  Perhaps you should simply turn off the Query cache?

That's a big fraction of the total.  Either the QC is unnecessarily big, or it 
was recently purged.

What is Uptime?  This may be a lot of prunes per second.

Purging stuff out of 128MB _may_ slow your system down more than the benefit 
you are getting.
I recommend turning off the QC for systems with constant write activity.
Otherwise, 50M is a reasonable max.
