Hi It might be that Squid is establishing a lot of NAT connections and keeping then open even after they have been serviced. See teh output of cat /proc/net/ip_conntrack, if it is a large file, or it shows many connections as "established" when they should have been dropped, it'll make sense to increase teh value of ip_conntrack_max in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max.
