Re: [squid-users] how to analyse this !

This is some pecularities in how malloc accounts for the allocated memory. You
only need to care about the last two (and ignore the % shown after total in
use).

requests/second is printed in a number of other places. I'd recommend you to
use the 5 minutes average counters rather than the ones printed in general
runtime information.
