10216 KB is nothing for a box with 328megs. Do you at all have a
configured cache on this Squid?

Please uignore the % value there. For a start it is a % of the current
Squid process size, not the amount of memory in your server, and
secondly it is calculated wrongly (should be 100%, as 10217 KB of 10235
KB is in use inside the Squid process).
