That's not quite right. Yes, the shrinker won't be called if the calculated scan count is less than the batch size, but the left over is added back the shrinker scan count to carry over to the next call to the shrinker. Hence if you repeated call the shrinker on a small cache with a large batch size, it will eventually aggregate the scan counts to over the batch size and trim the cache....
