Where is your web.log file?
my web.log file on my main site is 25,046,976 yet my web.cache is only 
1,216,125.  My mail log is over 8meg with a cache of only 1meg.  You mail 
log is only 200k but your cache is almost a meg.
My web log hasn't ever rotated yet, so I don't have a gz file at all.
I am not sure what creates the cache files, but your cache files are far 
bigger than your logs.  You total files are only about 22megs, that is not 
too bad.
