If that's correct then the LFUDA and GDSF implementations are only really suitable for systems with very long squid up-times.

AFAIK purge only deletes by URL, not combinations of age and size. "purge -ve." can generate a very detailed object listing though, which might be useful if I ever get around to writing a script.
