Some (most) of what that 2gb would be put toward caching squid's
cache_dirs, though. Unless you're running with a null cache_dir type and
just holding it all in RAM.

If that is the case, go with a ufs cache_dir and use a tmpfs filesystem
for the cache_dir. That will keep it all in RAM and get around that 3gb
userspace limit you would have eventually hit.
