Hi People,
I've been running squid on a nice new box with 1G of RAM for about a week
now, I've noticed that I seem to get a lot of memory labelled "Inactive"
this memory seems to slowly increase in line with Squid's process size. I
am expecting it to get to a point where squid will start using swap... The
kernel has been customised to allow a process to get to 256M

Here is Top -

last pid: 12316; load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 up 5+20:50:32
08:38:45
12 processes: 1 running, 11 sleeping
CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 100%
idle
Mem: 118M Active, 605M Inact, 66M Wired, 8K Cache, 112M Buf, 215M Free
Swap: 2051M Total, 2051M Free

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND

Its running the latest Squid 2.3Stable on FreeBsd 4.11 release

Any suggestions?
