In memory objects efficency

Hi,
as i read the thread of the SS1000 with 310M and 78MB for In Memory Objects
i was think how effective those in memory caching is. I myself reduced
this in memory objects very much as i think it only consumes memory.

For understanding. These in memory objects are the Ram equivalent for
the swap (HD) storage, correct ? It does no caching for writing to disc
or whatever doesnt it ? So does Squid analyse the hit rate for
in-memory cache seperately somewhere ?
