The "General Runtime Information" page is a better place to start.

- Amount of RAM squid uses can be found under "Memory usage for squid
via mallinfo".

- Amount of cache_mem Squid uses can be found under "Cache information
for squid".

The "Memory Utilization" page is interesting if you want to figure out
for what purposes Squid is using the memory it is using, for example
if you find that Squid is using much more memory than you think it
should.

For this purpose there is the SNMP interface.
