After running chef-client for a while my /var/cache/chef/checksums has
more than 200 K of files and chef-client fails
Can I remove these files?

Ohai!

Yes, it's completely safe, they're just there as an optimization, the
next chef run may need to re-checksum some files, but this isn't
really a big deal.
Chef 0.9.12 will clean these up automatically. As I mentioned in the
release announcement, the first time you run Chef after upgrading,
Chef can use a lot of CPU cleaning these out if you have that many, so
it's a good idea to remove them manually if you're concerned about the
impact on your production apps.
Also, be careful cleaning the checksums on Chef server: your cookbook
files are stored in a different directory also named "checksums" and
you don't want to delete those.
