Thanks for answering.
I am running web-polygraph benchmarks on the squid server. What I understand is that at the beginning, until the data fill up the cache_mem memory, there is a better performance. This lasts less than one minute.
What I would like to know is what kind of data the cache_mem holds. What algorithm determines the data to be stored and the data that will leave the cache_mem area?
cache_mem is used for in-transit objects and hot-objects. So it is important to get more TCP_MEM_HIT. You can set object's size that residented objects in memory with maximum_object_size_in_memory value.
LRU (Least Recent Used) (heap or linked list based)algorithm or others (GDSF, LFUDA)can be used as an alogrithm for cache_replacement_policy.
