Ok. Will put something along the following in the FAQ I think:

Squid uses approximately 10 MB of ram per GB in cache_dir, plus you cache_mem
setting and about 10-20MB extra. It is recommendable that your Squid server
has about twice this amount of RAM or more. The extra RAM besides what is
used by Squid is used by the operating system to improve disk I/O performance
and by other applications or services running on the server.

Any other suggestions on what to say here?

Henrik
