memory usage

Hi all,

I only have around 100 users using a Pentium II with 512MB as the proxy
server with squid 2.1 patch 2, however my cache.log always shown that
the memory usage is as high as 98% and the log is as follow:
**********************************************************

However I have already follow the FAQ in compiling the squid using
option -- enable-dlmalloc, can anyone give me some suggestion?

Thanks in Advance.
