You're being too impatient. Also, depending on which sites you have open, new entries can be made as they are removed.
Clearing cache marks all entries for deletion -- the deletion itself may take a little time depending on how many entries there are.

If you want a synchronous cache, that's still available too but less efficient. To use that, set browser.cache.backend to 0 after clearing the cache. You will then be using Darin's old caching system.
