My 3 nodes (usually 1-2 of them are running) have DSs of:
storeSize=0.9G (second unstable node used for testing)
storeSize=19G (stable node)
storeSize=18G (unstable node)

But then I get paid for this... :)
I know that Iakin has 100GB+ stores on some of his nodes.

What are you complaining about here? Is data being lost from the store
or are you just annoyed that it takes so long to restart the node?

It does. It's just that not everything that goes through your node is
cached. This is because your store is full, so we try to enhance routing
by "probabilistic caching". At some point we may implement a local-only
cache to supplant the datastore; this would disappear on restart for
security reasons.

Anonymity is more complex than "it's all encrypted anyway". We cannot
always cache locally requested data, while probabilistically caching
everything else, because then an attacker could tell what you've been
browsing. We could use a strict LRU for all data, however the
simulations suggest that probabilistic caching should improve routing
performance by reducing the routing dilution that happens as a result of
excessive caching. We DID try turning off pcaching for a while and it
didn't help performance.
