There are two parts of your question, so I'll answer them separately:

 1) You can display seven days of feed history by setting the days_per_page
    attribute under [Planet]. Set items_per_page to 0, unless you want an
    upper limit there, too.

 2) The cache is very dumb at the moment, and just keeps growing. Rarely a
    problem, but worth looking at every now and then.
