Not using Cached files?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Host has told me that the site I run will be disabled if I cannot fix 
timthumb. Apparently it's hogging big resources on the shared server I'm 
operating from. Host says problem is that the images are being created on 
the fly each time and are not cached.
2. However cached files are created so I think it might be to do with a 
full(as in 250 files) cache that won't flush itself.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
How can I check that timthumb is using the cached versions? Any ideas or 
help?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Linux, 1.09, Wordpress.

Please provide any additional information below.

I was having similar problems with the version that shipped with a wootheme's 
theme.
I updated it to the last version and the problem seems to be gone. Now the 
files are
cached as png rather than gif and I saw a huge improvement on resources usage 
(by
running 'top').

more changes have been made recently to improve caching etc. Please update to 
the
latest version and try again. Hopefully we're good now.
