RE: [squid-users] Memory usage keeps rising.

I'm using the same squid.conf file.

Here are the current cache settings:

cache_mem 256 MB

cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 2048 16 256

Thanks
Alex

Are you really sure you was using the same cache_mem setting?

Your Squid memory usage with these settings should be probably around
400-500MB, but as you have not indicated how much disk cache you are
using I am guessing, it for sure will use no less than 350MB however
(more than 50% of your memory).
See the Squid FAQ on memory usage if you have not already.
