Removing objects is a normal operation, but exceeding the high-water
mark is not.
The LRU expiration algorithm is supposed to always keep the
cache_swap value below the high water mark. However, if your
cache is very busy at times, the replacement routines may not
be able to remove objects fast enough.
Is your value for 'LRU Expiration Age' in the cachemgr 'info'
page very low when these warnings appear?
