See expired keys?

[Sam G.]

Mostly I'm wondering for the keys that I don't set expiration for:  
are they being pushed out of cache? Or do I actually have plenty of  
room, and I can store a lot more. I'd like to know either at what  
rate am I pushing out non-expiring keys, or what is the average  
lifetime of a non-expiring key before it gets pushed out of cache.
