Re: [squid-users] FreeBSD, 4GB of Ram, Making Squid USE it!

I am going to give 5.3-STABLE a try...

Anyone have any recommendations for sysctl values, and kernel build
options to fully take advantage of the 4 gigs of memory? I would like
the Squid process to sit at at least 3 gigs of memory.

Thanks.
