[squid-users] Re: new user

Memory usage is mainly dependent on the total size of your cache_dir lines.
IIRC the most commonly used formula is 10MB per GB of cache plus 10-20MB.

Number of top level directories is not very important, but is preferably
sufficient large to fit all your cache content.
