Re: [squid-users] Un-Accounted memory

"top" should report only around 1-2 MB of free memory when your
system is operating correctly and actually doing something. If you
have much more memory "free" then your system has too much memory for
the task it is doing. What is not in use by applications should be in
use by the OS for buffer/cache.

For a better view of the memory usage use the "free" command. It has
a row summing the usage to account for the buffer/cache use..
