short answer: No!

long answer: The store fills up when your node serves requests from others 
and you (the user). If a requested key is already in the store, your node 
just sends this and makes no request on his own for that. When the store 
is full, the least recently used key(s) is/are purged to make room. A 
bigger store means more keys are available, so chances to find requested 
keys in the store increase, this is _GOOD_ for the network.

( might only overflow your own hard disk if configured insane :-) )
