This was done for the "new, feature rich and blah" J! core, when 1.6 came out, everyone noticed that this core got the slowest speed ever, even with creating tons of cache files for clean install with same content of 3-4 pages. That's why was created cache cleaner, system plugin which uses build-in cron to clean cache folders for the core and as well 3rd party addons/libs caches.
In past I have a very huge site done with 2.0.18 (sorry, but this was and still is best core... just outdated), with over 20,000 content objects (and site is still operational, just someone else maintains it). There wasn't need for maintaining Cache (no need and for the protecotr/xortify) for the modules, only for specific blocks which was removed in time. The mentioned site is
http://big.bg/ (use google translate).
Regarding the server, should be still with PHP4 and XFS file system (Beta version), with kernel 2.4, that was at what I left it. (While everyone else at that time uses sluggish ext2 (don't forget that MySQL stores databases as files too) and with pre-build web environments, this was done on slackware core, but with manually configured, php, mysql and apache)
Attached bellow is the "PRO" version of Cache Cleaner (
http://www.nonumber.nl/extensions/cachecleaner#description) for J! 1.7/2.5 before author to change his mind and release most of the futures as separate version.... (GPL sucks... even if I catch PRO version, can re-release it for free :) )

GPL versions 2 and 3 are supporting PIRACY and provide/encourage existing of the sites known as "warez", such license is in conflict with the developers, translators and documentation writers work, time and health they're spend on this or another GPL project. FSF.ORG don't pay attention to any violators of that license, nor GNU pay attentions. So GPL licensing should take part of a discussion (another maybe) and to be dropped and replaced by Creative Commons and/or another license which really works. GNU GPL simply can be renamed as GNU Warez license.
