  Define 'so much' : note that cache_mem does not pose
  an upperbound on squid's mem. usage. See comment in
  squid.conf.default for 'cache_mem'.

  Also : squid's mem. usage is related to the size of the
  cache dir(s), see FAQ for relational info.

  If you are restricted by phys mem. available then reduce
  'cache_mem' to it's default setting.

  Ps: my squid's currently on 460Meg with cache mem
  setting of 64Mb.
