Hmm, Epiphany's use of the disk cache seems to be completely broken.

I have had Temporary Files set to 250MB, for months but:

$ du .gnome2/epiphany/mozilla/epiphany/Cache
2672    .gnome2/epiphany/mozilla/epiphany/Cache

2.6MB?  WTF?!?

This would certainly explain why I get such high hit rates with my local
Squid cache... Gack!
