I can see two potential reasons (beside a bug in my implementation):

 *  you have not used a very large object count.

    The most tight restriction (count or size) restricts what can be
    in the cache. With a small object count, this will be tighter than
    the byte size restriction.

 *  Size is only estimated -- not exact.

    The pickle size is used as size approximation.

    I would be surprized however, when the pickle size would be five times
    larger than the real size.
