There's your problem. Running Linux + Squid + BIND + whatever else in only
64MB of RAM is trouble. That leaves you precious little RAM (if any) to do
disk caching with, so Squid must physically access the hard disk often.

Looking at the info you referred to earlier (http://www.deforma.it/bonny) I
see that Squid is using 88MB of memory. Even being coffee-deprived as I am
I know that 64MB minus 88MB leaves you with a very unpleasant figure.

Squid likes memory. Put at least another 64MB of RAM in your machine, more
if you can afford it.
