The answer to this question depends heavily on how busy your cache is.
The default store_dir_select_algorithm is "least-load". On a lightly
used server, the first defined directory will be utilized the most. As
the server is more heavily trafficed the other directories will be
tapped more.

Some discussion has passed about a min-size argument to cache_dir (to
keep small objects out of the non-COSS cache_dirs), but I don't know
where that led.
