The above is a bit tight for 512MB of ram..

Also your Squid version 2.5.STABLE6 is quite old. I'd seriously
recommend an upgrade to rule out that you are running into some old
already fixed problem. There has been very many memory leaks fixed since
that release..

The "swap" reported by Squid is the size of your cache_dir. It's not
related to the system swap space, or swapping.
