It's used on haproxy.org actually, though with a smaller total size
since we don't have that much content to cache :
cache cache
total-max-size 50 # size in megabytes
max-object-size 1048576
max-age 900
So we cache objects up to 1 MB with no more than 50 MB total. It works
pretty well :
http://stats.haproxy.org/
Cum. HTTP requests: 3379250
Cache lookups:2520404
Cache hits: 840542 (33%)
-bash-4.2$ echo show cache | socat - /var/run/haproxy.stats|wc -l
4899
-bash-4.2$ echo show cache | socat - /var/run/haproxy.stats|head -1
0x7facd3bb603a: cache (shctx:0x7facd3bb6000, available blocks:51200)
I could try to enlarge it, but it's not needed there, the goal was
really to give it some real-world exposure.

Feel free to try and report your observations, these are always
