It only stores basic data about the dictionary, like the information here:

Dictionary cache hit:
* Filename..: Wordlist.txt
* Passwords.: 10
* Bytes.....: 10
* Keyspace..: 10

It doesn't store the entire dictionary in cache. It uses that above information to calculate how long an attack will take and such
