One more bug needs to be fixed:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707436

I'd like to postpone evicting of the entries in case of startup and 
maybe spread the eviction in a longer timerange to avoid massive IO. 
This would mean that we wouldn't respect the cache size for a limited 
time. Is this acceptable?
