Thank you Leonardo
in this URL you can see the graphics: http://smb.cancun.net.mx/squid/
I noted also the LOTS of Open FD in cache .log
I Included at the website a cache_log.txt file, 
this is a extract of the log after
a "squid -k restart"   http://smb.cancun.net.mx/squid/cache_log.txt
there are a lot of lines that said something like
2009/08/03 21:23:11|     65536 entries written so 
far. 
2009/08/03 21:23:11|    131072 entries written so

2009/08/03 21:23:11|    393216 entries written so far.
then the restart:
2009/08/03 21:23:15|   Finished.  Wrote 3482566 
entries. 
2009/08/03 21:23:15|   Took 4.48 seconds
