The following settings work for me (on a 4.10-STABLE machine with 4Gb RAM):

options MAXDSIZ="(2816*1024*1024)"
options MAXSSIZ="(256*1024*1024)"
options DFLDSIZ="(256*1024*1024)"
options NSWAPDEV=1

And a lot of crap stripped out: NICs, ATA and SCSI drivers I don't use,
USB stuff, and so forth. I didn't tweak the NMBUFS or NMBCLUSTERS settings.

Currently my squid process looks like :

nobody 29322 1.1 67.0 2608092 2609328 ?? S 22Feb05 82:02.94
squid -NsY

I'm toying with reformatting the machine this summer and installing 5.3,
but there's no hurry. This is certainly good enough for me. I'm getting
consistent 22-25% byte hit and 50-60% request hit ratios.

Later,
David
