Good idea.

My Spotlight tweak was made last year so it wasn't indexing anything that I
know of at this time, but if it monitors all low-level file ops it should at
least be queueing deleted paths for later processing. I doubt it contributed
significantly to the problem.

By the way, I've got ~/Library/Caches/WebKit/ as well. Isn't that the one we're
really interested in here since I'm running a nightly? (It's size and file
count is even smaller than my previous numbers.) The date stamps in there are
from today while everything in ~/Library/Caches/Safari/ is at least 30 days
old.
