memory usage squid 1.1.3

Hi,

We have squid 1.1.3 on a FreeBSD 2.1.5 box.
What is the difference between Process Size and total memory
accounted in cache information (see below)?

We have only 700Mo of swap size and 6Mo memory swap for squid
and the system has 32 Mo ram. The box swap in permanence. Is this
normal?

We plan to put 4Go of swap size, what is approximately the amount
of memory we need?

Thanks for any tips,
Benoit
