Have it running fine with over 1.2 TB of cache at a customer site..
Using 1GB for cache_mem alone.. Process size currently around 8 GB.

The only problem I have seen (after a few fixes some versions back) is
that mallinfo is broken by glibc API, and no other alternative available
as the glibc developers can't agree on how such interface should look
like or interested in fixing mallinfo as they consider it a broken API
(even rejecting patches)... The impact of this is that all mallinfo
related reporting in cachemgr, snmp and cache.log is all screwed up, and
it also impacts the high_memory_warning directive.
