It should shrink when there's memory pressure. If you're still worried, there's 
the -disable-dynamic-vcaches switch for afsd.
On my desktop PC (Linux 3.16.5 x86_64, OpenAFS 1.6.10) I set the -disable-dynamic-vcaches option, the -stat option has a value of 65536. When I create 100,000 files, I see 100,000 more afs_inode_cache slab objects. But, the fileserver is seeing this option, there are only 65253 nFEs, 65253 nCBs (4194304 nblks). Without -disable-dynamic-vcaches the number of CBs is about the number of created files. And if I try to create more files than nCBs on the fileserver, the fileserver (dafileserver) hangs for about 15 minutes (dafileserver 100-120% cpu!), and I get a "connection timeout" on the client.
