Comment (by archon810):

 Any updates? Oddly, I'm still seeing the same 1,019,740 entries in the
 `_transient_dirsize_cache` option as 5 months ago. It stopped growing, it
 seems, but still occupies a massive amount of space.

 If I empty it, will it not grow anymore? Did any recent versions of WP
 change some logic, or is it not growing for some other reason?
