Are you sure you want cache_mem that high? See the Squid FAQ on memory
usage.

Is it? According to your top output your system is using only 165MB of
memory..

> Mem: 2075032k total, 1280396k used, 794636k free, 272072k buffers
> Swap: 4096564k total, 0k used, 4096564k free, 842548k cached

1280396k - 272072k - 842548k == 165740k in use.

idle memory is a waste so your OS uses the idle memory as "buffer/cache"
to speed up things. Nothing to worry about.

Rubbish. If the above is true you must not post in public message forums
as there is no control whatsoever of the distribution of posted
information.
