The % in "Total in use" is a bit off.. don't care too much about this. > Because that would mean that squid uses more mem than I have, saying that it > swaps to hard drive.. None of the kind. This information has no relevance to how much memory your box have, swap etc. Only the virtual memory size of the Squid process and how efficient your malloc implementation makes use of this. If you look closely at the numbers your Squid was very small (4 MB) and is unlikely to have caused any swapping. Regards Henrik
