Hi,
My squid proxy is very slow as compared to cacheflow which is
configured as a failover.
Also squid eats up memory ::
[root@localhost root]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1001 983 18 0 108 294
-/+ buffers/cache: 580 421
Swap: 1027 28 999
[root@localhost root]#
Free memory is only 18 MB out of 1 GB
Output of TOP ::
