Not sure if that's an issue, but mine shows the following...

Size: 13.5 GB (14,579,158,926 bytes)
Size on Disk: 13.7 GB (14,725,263,360 bytes)
Contains: 63,561 Files, 257 Folders

Note: that's the SharedCache folder properties itself, not just the contents properties, but the numbers are the same anyways.

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

Pretty normal if

you have a TQ and Sisi/Duality/[whatever] Client installation
you did'nt purge your SharedCache contents

For now, the command line tool rescache.exe that resides within each client directory allows to not only check the integrity of the SharedCache but also removes any file that's no longer needed, by this specific client.

Using that, you can reduce the SharedCache size, but keep in mind that you may have to download any SharedCache data that's used by other clients that have a different build version than the one whose rescache.exe you used
So if you clean the SharedCache using the TQ client's tool, you will have to download data that Singularity needs (once that gets patched to a different version than TQ)

Edit: Currently, TQ uses a total of 63489 files from the SharedCache. You can get that information by taking a look into the resfileindex.txt within the TQ client directory, which has that number of lines (and entries starting with "res:/").
If the total number of files (not folders) within the ResFiles directory is higher than that number, one of the conditions above is met.
