[squid-users] squid.conf

I got questions on two options

cache_mem

The default is 8 MB. Squid will be running on a server with only DNS. The
server has 512 MB of RAM. Will it make a difference if I change the above
value to 100 MB? Is there a point where how much RAM you give it won't make
a difference?

Also, the .conf says Squid will typically use 2 - 3 times the amount
specified... that doesn't scale, does it? I mean, if I had 8 -10 MB, it may
you 20 -30 MBs total for it to do stuff, but if I give 100 MB for cache_mem,
it isn't going to beusing 200-300 MB to do things now, correct?

cache_swap

Squid has its own partition of 30 GB on a SCSI HDD. Should I move the 90%
closer to the 95%? I'm also not quite sure how much changing the difference
between the two values makes.
