ehcache LRU evicting recently used entries

Question

Using Ehcache , after Java app works 2.5 days, I have this statistic

cacheHits:  31185262, approximate 131 per sec
cacheMisses:    4642979, approximate 19  per sec
evictedCount:   4106931, approximate 17 per sec

and last hour it looks like

cacheHits:  60 per sec
cacheMisses:    57 per sec
evictedCount:   53 per sec

size of cache=400000, items never expire.

Why does it happen?
