Question: What are the rules of thumb for setting the size of the cache?

Fact: The memory usage on the server is below for reference.

Fact: htcacheclean will continuously prune the cache to a certain size.  

Fact: When the cache got to 587,692 items taking up 2.2GB of disk space I
started getting this error, "(103)Software caused connection abort: cache:
error returned while trying to return disk cached data"

Fact: I already read the manual, "Determining how frequently to run
htcacheclean and what target size to use for the cache is somewhat complex
and trial and error may be needed to select optimal values."
