Hello,
has anyone got any idea, what would cause a proxy server to just keep taking up memory even when its not in use and the cache dirs are totally purged?

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 33G 64M 31G 0% /cache-1

and under TOP
  PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
 2869 nobody 14 0 96872 94M 1100 R 0 94.1 9.9 0:13 squid
 2875 nobody 1 0 96872 94M 1100 S 0 2.9 9.9 0:00 squid

then a few minutes later

  PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
 2722 nobody 18 0 129M 129M 1100 R 0 93.0 13.6 0:20 squid
 2730 nobody 1 0 129M 129M 1100 S 0 4.0 13.6 0:00 squid

there are currently NO users on this system, and the cache is empty, anyone have any idea?
the squid version is 2.2-stable5
thankyou
Jimmy
