Fix bug where state cache used lots of memory
The state cache bases its size on the sum of the size of entries. The
size of the entry is calculated once on insertion, so it is important
that the size of entries does not change.

The DictionaryCache modified the entries size, which caused the state
cache to incorrectly think it was smaller than it actually was.
