well, I believe that is really too low for such a busy machine and you
should think of 4-8 gigs (or more?) for such a server

you can start here but still also too low, I set this to 4 or 6 gigs but I
have much more ram as you in my servers

what do you mean? Could, nothing certain? what is your cache_mem setting?


> It was not using swap.

sure not, if you have 1GB of ram and there are 512Mb left then squid will
crash soon the 512 you allow are used, so no chance to get to swap either

set your maxdsize to 1 or 2 gigs and assist the magic happen

no good, ipcs -a at least

6.2 is way better and releng_6 is really stable you could upgrade which
should be possible with no downtime beside one reboot

you see? your kernel options are not exactly what you get at runtime right ;)

yes sysctl, they are runtime tunable

you must check out with ipcs and set your system to what works well
without using too high values

other values I saw are eventually not so good choices, as somaxconn seems
way to high and nbmclusters are 0 ?


may be you trust the fbsd auto-tuning and compile your kernel with
max_user 0 and restart without sysctl values but maxdsiz to 1 gb or so and
see what happens.
