Do a top and see how much ram is eaten by squid, I would think almost all
of it on a machine that has 64MB ram and cache size of 12G

on ours
we have 128MB ram
dropped storage to 6G
and limits @ 90%
and ours is sitting comfortably at 88MB Ram or 68.5% ram, we cat back and
are seeing how it will go, it has been up for 37 Days this time.
