If you really have 1.1 million objects in store, 128M of memory is
probably nowhere near enough. Squid keeps data on each object in store
in RAM, and it can get big. My caches have about 1.2 million objects
each, and the squid process size is 240MB. Your machine is probably
swapping itself to death.

You must have very small objects in cache - it takes me 14GB to store
1.2 million objects - you're getting 1.1 million in 1GB?
