Re: [squid-users] Slowness.....

Yep.

Looks like you already know the answer to your question, eh? The 10MB
per GB of cache is a good round number that works out pretty well. We
actually configure more than that on our boxes, but we use async I/O and
we tune for performance a lot more than memory efficiency. Our boxes
with 28GB of cache storage have 512MB of RAM, and they run with about
90-110MB 'free' (actually in buffer cache--but we never go into swap).
