This describes the available file entries which may be stored in that
cache_dir. "$used of $max ($percent)"

If it gets too full Squid will start erasing things from the cache to
make room. If it gets to 100% I believe Squid will slow down accepting
new traffic and go into high CPU consumption to purge data for the
traffic it can accept.
  cache_swap_high and cache_swap_low percentages should come into effect
when they match the "bits in use" percentage and control this before it
gets near 100% though.
