Hello all, I have configured Squid 2.5 on a PC with 1GB RAM and a DualCore Processor. Fedora is installed with an SMP Kernel. my swap file size is 300MB When i start squid, the computer slows to a halt. I have followed the sugestions in the FAQ of: 1. reduce cache_mem 2. set memory_pool to off 3. reduced maximum_object_size i did not try, however, 4. a different malloc 5. using NOVOM, as i believe this is only for 1.1 6. changing cache_swap, as i could not find it in the config file. When i start squid, there is a process owned by root that is using 376mb ram. there is also a process owned by squid starting at 377mb ram and growing to 723mb ram and beyond. i have a 3GB swap file that. Of which 508MB is in use. Here is the info from cachemgr.cgi: Memory usage for squid via mallinfo(): Total space in arena: 970740 KB Ordinary blocks: 969957 KB 24 blks Small blocks: 0 KB 0 blks Holding blocks: 0 KB 0 blks Free Small blocks: 0 KB Free Ordinary blocks: 782 KB Total in use: 969957 KB 100% Total free: 782 KB 0% Total size: 970740 KB Memory accounted for: Total accounted: 7415 KB memPoolAlloc calls: 198887 memPoolFree calls: 28658 What else can i do to tune Squid to behave properly?
