It is your estimation of the average (mean) size of a stored (cached)
object. Squid uses store_avg_object_size to estimate the _number_ of objects
(store entries) given the size of a cache.

        number_of_objects = cache_size / store_avg_object_size

cache_size comes from your cache_dir entries in squid.conf.

Finally, if you overestimate store_avg_object_size, Squid will run out of
pre-allocated store entries (place-holders for swap files). If you
underestimate store_avg_object_size, Squid will use more RAM than needed.
