Hi Oguz, when squid uses that much memory, it's usually because the admin asks it to. Especially relevant are the cache_mem and cache_dir settings, which unfortunately are missing in your request for help. See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidMemory for details about how squid uses memory, and how much it is expected to use. More than that is a bug - usually a memory leak - but continuously using 36 GB of RAM is a lot to account for as one. -- /kinkie
