[squid-users] Memory Vs Disk cache

IS there away to make squid cache more in memory that on disk. Or
prioritize RAM over disk.

Why I asked is that since we know RAM access is way ahead. And 8 GB ram
or 4GB ram can allocate maybe towards a ram cache (not ram drive).

And forcing squid to almost not use disk. This even gets intersting when
you account for parent and sibling paring of 2 similar boxes. So all
caching is done over 2 computers in memory.

Problems:
1. what is the max ram usage of squid.
2. Is there a way in the current squid version to increase the wait of
memory cache objects then if object not found check siblings.

I know there is a penalty of shutting down the boxes cleans the caches.
But the caches speed will increase as it fills after a reboot.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Any idea's
