Not that unrealistic, I think. The "fallen out" URLs could be pages
with last month's news or a bankrupt dot.com sites. Note that URL
popularity within the working set is not constant and is controlled by
the hot set setting of popularity model.
A better approach would be to remove individual random URLs or chunks
of URLs from the working set instead of sliding WS window. This
approach would require too much RAM to store WS info in its current
encoding though.

Oops. I was wrong. The documentation is correct. Still, there should
be no reason to have tens of GBs of disk space to build a good
surrogate. Thus, you will save yourself a few hours of testing time if
you use smaller cache size.
Thanks,
