Do you have any calendar display extensions? Sometimes extensions or scripts
can effectively create a very large number of pages in the cache when
spidered by search engines (eg daily views have 'view next day' and go on
for years). Similar things can happen when you have multiple routes into
the same content that have different getvars and chaches.

All the best,

Ben.
