also, note that on most squid box with adequate memory,
it's sometimes better to turn off swap.
it is not advisable to turn it off what ever applications you are running
in... it wont hurt the system if you created one instead it will help the
system... note that swapping is different from paging... swap has its own
purposes...
1. it determines that you are running out of physical memory if there is a
big activity at the swap area... you have two options... buy more memory if
there are still slots available or reconfigure and tune those processes that
eats a lot of memory just to fit to your physical ram...
2. it will give more physical ram to the active and memory hungry process
because those least recently use or low priority processes such as idle
processes are swap in to the disk just to free the physical ram...
fooler.
