Squid uses memory as it adds data to the on-disk store. If you have
too big a store, your squid size will exceed your memory. When this
happens, your machine will start to swap.
Whenever Squid locates an object on disk, you will end up swapping
large amounts of ram... you don't want this.
to test this theory:
Ensure that your cache_mem value is set at a small value: let's say
1mb.
THEN
Add more ram
OR
decrease the disk space you have allocated (with the cache_dir) value
