Oh, right, but there are icon caches in both C and T dirs: {{{ %> sudo sh -c "du -hcs /var/folders/*/*/*/com.apple.IconServices" 81M /var/folders/11/_bf842l54ngf42g66hkzslmw0000gp/C/com.apple.IconServices 264K /var/folders/11/_bf842l54ngf42g66hkzslmw0000gp/T/com.apple.IconServices 82M /var/folders/99/yvy25dd94jn_ykbfkf1q4mzw0000gw/C/com.apple.IconServices 88M /var/folders/gf/wmgp2zv506dcsg7_cjxx69m40000gr/C/com.apple.IconServices 234M /var/folders/j1/1439ppj08xj8h6006s6drbq00000gs/C/com.apple.IconServices 11M /var/folders/j1/1439ppj08xj8h6006s6drbq00000gs/T/com.apple.IconServices 80M /var/folders/sd/pwbxpphw8xj3vb006s6drbq00000gn/C/com.apple.IconServices 264K /var/folders/sd/pwbxpphw8xj3vb006s6drbq00000gn/T/com.apple.IconServices 12K /var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n0000000000000/C/com.apple.IconServices 0B /var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n0000000000000/T/com.apple.IconServices 12K /var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000bh00002w/C/com.apple.IconServices 0B /var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000bh00002w/T/com.apple.IconServices 577M total }}} Those are compressed sizes; uncompressed they take about 5.5Gb . > > How large is your own icon cache directory?

Right, looks like something isn't right - or something was changed significantly since 10.9. I do have a 277Mb large /opt/local/share/icons, but those shouldn't be picked up by Apple's IconServices (only a few icon theme directories have ever been opened in the Finder, and only by me, not any of the other users with big icon caches.
