Yeah. We know :)

Possibly because it's not very heavily used?

It all has to do with the size of the files that people are downloading.
Our caches normally run at about 100M of swapped out ram each, though
I have specified that they shouldn't use more than 4M. (ie stop complaining
<GRIN>)

Squid-NOVM is supposed to use no ram for "hot objects" and the like.
Currently it's a little Beta tho. quite a few people are using it, and it
seems ok tho.
