[squid-users] Reg: Squid taking all most all the RAM

Hi,

First of all sorry if this question was asked before, I am
running squid2.6stable21 version in production server. The server has
8GB RAM, total no. of users 160.

My problem is, squid taking all
the 8GB ram(almost all), so i am unable to run any other services also
the surfing speed is slow.

cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 500 16
256

cache_mem 8MB

I am unable to upgrade the squid with
latest stable version b'coz its in production server. Please help me to
fix this problem
