They have to store every filename and every hostname that's ever visited
you. But you can compress the cache files if you want. That should take it

Well, you can use the LOWMEM commands to stop some types of item being
recorded altogether. You can't save just the top (say) 1000 hosts, because
you don't know if they'll still be the top 1000 next month.
