Ok. some simple math on the above figures: 1928044k - 346912k - 367M = 1178M used by something else than Squid and the OS buffers... I would suggest you start looking who is using all this memory as it is not your Squid. > Actually, the squid is running but dont receives any queries because I stopped > it. In spite of that, squid still spends 18,2% of memory. See the Squid FAQ chapter on memory usage. This explains well how and why Squid uses memory. As I have very recently said on the suqid-users mailinglist the size of Squid should basically never ever decrease, or increase over a long time. The size should stabilize at a certain size after some use at peak workload. Regards Henrik
