The Memory Utilization page in cachemgr is a good start.

I prefer colleding runtime statistics with SNMP and plot them using MRTG
or RRDTOOL.
For usage statistics use one of the log analyzis packages for Squid. Which

There is not much to do about these parameters. Already set for very
restrictive memory usage.
