ClearingTheCache

Noticed the update of <http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ClearingTheCache
>.

"To fix simple cases such as the above where the cache just needs to
have a portion of the total removed Altering squid.conf and
reconfiguring squid is sufficient. Squid will handle the changes
automatically and purge the cache down to size again within 10 minutes
of the configure."

IME it can take *much* longer than 10 minutes, and if the box is under
load, doing this can cause problems.
