RE: [squid-users] memory pools in squid

Henrik,

If all my Squid boxes have 1Gb of RAM, what would be the optimal setting for
the memory_pools_limit?

Memory pools is an internal thing in Squid related to how Squid
internally manages memory.

There is not much to fiddle on except for the memory_pools_limit
parameter in squid.conf. I'd recommend you to set this to around 16
MB, less if your system is short on memory.

See also the Squid FAQ section on memory usage.
