RE: cache_mem at version 1.1.14

Use the cache manager to get more information about malloc, to see
whether that really is used. You could try turning memory_pools off
in squid.conf. Or you can change to the NOVM branch of squid, which
doesn't keep things in memory when they are being downloaded - but
for a small performance hit, and a vast increase in the number of
file descriptors used.

Subject: cache_mem at version 1.1.14

Hello,

I've build a transparent proxy with Linux 2.0.29,
128 MB RAM and a 7.3 GB partition for squid (ver. 1.1.14)
In squid.conf I set cache_mem to 48 MB, but the
squid uses about 160 MB - so the proxy becomes slow.
Why does the proxy uses so much more memory?
Should I decrese the value of cache_mem?

USER PID %CPU %MEM SIZE RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
squid 7253 2.8 89.2 163708 114308 ? D Sep 8 89:35 squid -s

Thank you for any help.

Best regards,

Thomas Krause
