I use "cache_dir /path/ 30000" on 36 GB drives and "cache_dir /path/ 15000"
on 18GB drives. The filesystems are filled to ~86% which is OK, when I tried
to use them a bit more, the performance degraded.

I would try "cache_dir /path/ 5000" on that 5GB drive. If it would be to
slow, I'd degrade it to 4500 to see if it helps.
