Hi,
My squid instance is using a lot of swap. At the moment, it has a
resident size of 3.2G and is using 980mb swap.
My system has 4G of ram, squid is a 32bit app (We can upgrade to
64bit, but will have rebuild the cache). The cache as 32232237
objects, 485.84 GB of data.
I have the cache_mem set to 512MB and memory_pools off.
Anyone know how decrease the swap? (Aside from adding more ram, or
decreasing # of objs)

Just the meta-data for 32232237 objects will require over 2 GB of RAM.
The recommended amount of RAM for 485GB of cache would be close to 5GB,
just for Squid.
The short answer would be "Nope."
