[squid-users] Server Load

From: Mr. Issa\(*\) <xnixguy_at_gmail.com>

Dear All,
Iam facing a server load of 2.0 almost all the time and a whole of
32GB of rams are consumed on the server used for squid production
My question is Why the 32GB of rams are consumed and why the server is
LOADING all the time
The squid is used in transparent mode, and cache_replacement_policy heap LFUDA
memory_replacement_policy heap GDSF

Below are some information might help you in guiding me

Thank you in advance

Cordially,
Bill
