Hello,
I have 384 MB of RAM and I set, 'cache_mem' to 120 MB (is this right?),
since there's a note that says process can become twice or three times
bigger than the value for cache_mem. But looking at cache manager's
General Runtime Report:
Memory usage for squid via mallinfo():

Why is that the 'Total space in arena' is not nearly equal to cache_mem
(120 MB)? Why is the value for 'Total space in arena', 'Total accounted'
changing? Why is 'Total accounted' less than 'Total space in arena'?
