My understanding of squid caching after reading its documentation and FAQ is
that
squid will have some kind of representation of every object that it cache.. so
providing that you have enough memory, squid will be searching for
cached object
in the memory not on your disk, so it should be fast..
i have bigger cache size and my average http_respond is around 1 second, with
cache_hit around 0.00091 second ..

Hello!
I have a squid that has been caching for like 10 month. It now have an
amazing size of 4.5 gig. When browsing on the web, it is now very very
slow. I restarted squid with a clean cache. Everything was fine again. I
was wondering if there were a way to tell squid to clean cache
periodicaly?! So I would not have to do it myself.
Thanks in advance
