I have 128MB and nice memory hit ratio. I had 256MB and tried to lower it for lower memory usage, now I'm thinking about enlarging it a bit :) It all depends on amount of RAM usually available. if the example above happens more often, do not set up squid to eat more memory (or better, buy 512MB of RAM and set cache_mem 128 MB) > Is there a FAQ that explains memory pools and how to use them? config file explains enough imho. I set up 64MB, default 5MB or 50 MB in example is OK. if you have default setting, it's ok. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
