What is your settings for the following parameters?

cache_mem
maximum_object_size
maximum_object_size_in_memory
cache_replacement_policy
memory_replacement_policy
ipcache_size
fqdncache_size

Which storage scheme are you using?

Can you post your relevant configs of your squid.conf?

How long is your Squid process been running?

Your server's memory usage seems unusually high even for 1500 clients.
My proxy server which serves 2000-3000 clients is currently using 650 MB
of memory despite running for more than 55 days.
