Here's what claims squid :

Memory usage for squid via mallinfo():
        Total space in arena: 147845 KB
        Ordinary blocks: 64168 KB 70883 blks
        Small blocks: 0 KB 0 blks
        Holding blocks: 1108 KB 5 blks
        Free Small blocks: 0 KB
        Free Ordinary blocks: 83677 KB
        Total in use: 65276 KB 44%
        Total free: 83677 KB 57%

It has eaten much more than the 20Mo of the cache_mem parameter of it's
conf file and it doesn't release them !

I'll put the memory_pools parameter to off but I wonder if it could not have
sides effects...
