I do not think your system is swapping -- you do not even have swap
configured, it seems. All your free memory is probably spent on the file
system cache ("cached" number in top and "cached" column in free). That
is normal.

Agreed. If DNS server is competing with Squid for CPU cycles, you will
see that in top when running your "busy slow Squid" test.

Sounds good, but please do not forget to provide "top" snapshot(s)
_during_ performance degradation.

One more hint: Configure your top to add a "last CPU core used" column.
This will tell you whether Squid processes are jumping from core to core
AND may tell you which other processes they are competing on those cores
with.

FWIW, I did not notice any problems.

Good luck,
