[squid-users] Squid 3.2.6 & hot object cache

I have a general question regarding Squid 3.2.x and the hot object
cache.

According to what I found in the FAQ, the "hot object cache" is
located in RAM, taking an amount of RAM limited by cache_mem.

So, frequently requested objects are stored in this memory area. But
what is a hot item? How big can a hot item be? Are objects transferred
from the cache_mem to the disk cache (and vice versa).

The reason for my question: WOuld a RAM disk help to speed up the proxy?
