This is a standard cache partition size:

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda9               124427     89819     28184  77% /var/vice/cache

I won't believe that ext2 has ~20% overhead.  There are clearly situations where, for brief periods of time, the cache limit does get exceeded.
