RE: [squid-users] How much ram

It was just a curiosity.
I am interested what other people use in their cache server as far as ram goes. :)
That's all.

What OS are you using ?
Under Linux, using top it's easy to see that all the memory that's not
allocated to processes is used by the OS as disk cache and buffers.
Their sisze is automatically managed by the kernel and given enough time
will fill up the entire ram however big.
After all, you don't want to pay for precious ram just to have it
unused, right ?
