Regarding cache_mem: (from squid.conf documentation)
NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
Generally speaking, for a Internet proxy there is very limited value of
setting cache_mem much larger than maybe 32 MB.
