What is your average object size?

The amount of metadata kept per cache_mem object is pretty large and not
accounted for in cache_mem limits, much larger than the amount kept for
disk-only objects.

For largeish cache_mem settings and no disk cache it makes sense that
memory usage is close to linear with cache_mem setting * X.
