There may be a misnomer in the preferences there. later marks use mb not 
kb as the setting. Try setting it to 500 to see if the cache 
automatically clears itself after 5000kb.
Caution: This WILL cause the program to 'forget' web pages and force 
re-loading if you return to the same page, slowing down your browsing, 
5mb (5000kb) is about enough for 2 or 3 pages (with the more intensive 
ones anyway)

If you want to empty it quickly, simply drag the entire cache folder to 
the trash. The cache folder will be re-created when you next start up 
Netscape.
