It's not enough : we observe squid (1.1.18) ever growing tough the cache 
swap size is stationary. Just after boot the size of the squid proc (vmsize 
on linux) is about 90Mo and, 4 days later, is size is about 160Mo ! 
The only solution till now is to kill and reboot squid once per week...
May be the use of the memory_pools parameter solve that ?
