Does Squid "promote" objects from disk to RAM?
No.
And if not, why not?
The OS already have them cached in the disk cache providing relatively fast access (but indeed not as fast as if it was in the Squid cache_mem), so this hasn't been given a high priority to implement. For normal Internet proxies this isn't very important, but in accelerator setups it may become a noticeable bottleneck.
It is planned to implement a real RAM based cache in Squid, it just isn't really there yet.
