Good, you can safely use a few squid processes there,

I meant that configuring swap space on system with that much of ram should
be useless. Of course, some OSes can progressively store data onto swap even
when not needed. But as long as swapping will be needed, the system needs
tuning or more RAM.

80% of what? announced disk space? of the filesystems' "free" space after

apparently will differ). The latter, the better imho.

Btw may I know those numbers (just for curiosity).
