cache_mem is used for in-transit objects and hot-objects. So it is
important to get more TCP_MEM_HIT. You can set object's size that
residented objects in memory with maximum_object_size_in_memory value.

LRU (Least Recent Used) (heap or linked list based)algorithm or others
(GDSF, LFUDA)can be used as an alogrithm for cache_replacement_policy.
