I'll do that.
Squid is like a memory allocation stress-test. :o)

Anyway, the abnormal behaviour appeared only when the number of requests
per second was beyond 60, which took the CPU usage close to 100%. Under
lighter load, even the OSs own allocator didn't eat up too much memory.

Yes, it is. top says it's around 220 MB and (almost) steady.
Well, it still grows up, but maybe 100 times slower than before. I'll
see if it will release some memory later.
So far so good.
