Can I *not* have an on-disk cache?

I'm guessing from the posts that most of you are using Squid in its
regular mode. Perhaps I have needs that Squid doesn't really address,
but...

I'm running Squid in http-accelerator mode (in front of a web site). All
of the pages are dynamic and therefore not cacheable. The cacheable items
(buttons and stuff) probably only total 20MB or so.

The Squid box is hitting its capacity limit, and I'm looking for ways to
squeeze some more life out of it so we survive until we replace the box.
Turning off all logging helps, but I would really like to avoid the system
calls and directory tree walking involved with an on-disk cache.

This is for Squid 1.1, although suggestions for v2 are welcome. I would
like to have a nice-sized RAM cache to keep in-process data (say 200MB),
but I want to eliminate any filesystem access by Squid. Any ideas?
