RE: [squid-users] Control squid VSZ and RSS from growing

I'm running Red Hat ES 2.1 and my squid process continually grows.
Running "squid -v" returns:
  Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE4-20031015
  configure options: --prefix=/local/proxy/squid --enable-cache-digests
  --enable-underscores --with-pthreads --enable-storeio=aufs,ufs
  --enable-removal-policies=heap --enable-gnuregex

I've tried compiling it with --enable-dlmalloc but that didn't make a difference.
Right now cachemgr.cgi says:
  Memory usage for squid via mallinfo():
        Total space in arena: 464715 KB
  Memory accounted for:
        Total accounted: 269273 KB

Running "ldd -v squid" returns:

 I have a fairly steady process size, after a few weeks with squid on Linux (+aufs in use). Make sure 'cache_mem' is set to reasonable value with respect to physical mem (e.g).
