This acutally will increase the memory usage of Squid womewhat, as
fewer large objects will be cached allowing for more objects in total
to be cached...

Yes. Linux-2.4.0 to 2.4.18 (I think) had very serious memory leaks in
the ipchains REDIRECT target..
For linux-2.4 iptables should be used unless one has a very strong
reason why to continue using ipchains. The ipchains emulation of
Linux-2.4 is barely maintained (as can be seen above..) while
iptables is actively maintained and constantly improved with each
Linux-2.4 release.
