It would mean that the robot can make your site generate URLs with 
parameters it passes to your web site. Encode cache stores only URLs your 
site asked to encode. In case of robot decoding cache is more likely to be fat.

Do'nt you use a very old "cal" extension version? That was known for 
generating thousands of links in RealURL caches.
