   I keep getting disk warnings from my host - the more storage quota I give my site, the more it seems to cache - started at 300mb , still not enough at 500mb. Way to limit Cache Size? Set really short expiry? ??? thx

   Just set the expiry time really low and then make it longer until you're using (on average) the amount of space you want.

   Setting the expiry time low is not always the best choice, because there is no warranty at all that the cache won't grow in huge proportions after the visit of a bot (some bad bots don't give anything relevant in the User-Agent field, and they can crawl an entire blog very quickly).

   I think a good feature in WP Super Cache would be the possibility to limit the number of pages a single "user" (or rather a single IP) can cause to put into cache (before expiry time).

   Since I didn't see anywhere this feature, I use a trick which is to disable caching of the pages containing the following strings in the URL :
   * '/2008/0'
   * '/2007/'
   * '/pages/' (for '/pages/2', '/pages/3', etc... In fact I'm not sure that is is really necessary)

   This is not the recommended setting for every blogger, before deciding such settings one should have a look at some web analytics software.
