How big should ~/News/NoCeM/cache be?

[H. Vdisdnen]

The size of my ~/News/NoCeM/cache is 10376639 bytes. Is this normal?
I'm using gnus-5.4.25.

That seems kinda big, but it depends on how many (un)subscribed groups
you have.  The fewer the living groups, the smaller the cache.

Although it might very well be a bug in the function that's suppose to
expire cache entries.

That seems rather large.  Make sure that you've killed newsgroups that
you aren't interested in.  I think it'll collect message-id's for
unsubscribed groups still (if they aren't killed).

Look at the results of running this (after your nocem cache is loaded):

(mapcar 'car gnus-nocem-alist)

That'll just show the time stamps on entries, and maybe we can figure
out if it's not expiring things correctly.
