Looking at your stats, we seem to have a very similar setup - same
processor (P100), same requests/minute (20-30), same requests/page faults
ratio (2:1). We actually only have 64 Mb of RAM in our server, but Squid
sits very comfortably in 33% of that, and under 1% CPU usage. Frankly,
we've never worried about the page faults on such a small server - our
operating system never swaps. Any idea why your Squid was running at >20%
CPU - is this normal for other people with similar loads?
