Which leads me onto two more questions:
1. How can I pull up information about the cache, such as the age of
objects within it.
squidclient [-p port-squid-listens-on] cache_object://loccalhost/storedir
2. When allocating memory to squid, what sort of allowance should be
given to leaving some free for OS file caching since I assume this is
important on some level due to the disk caching...?

"As a rule of thumb on Squid uses approximately 10 MB of RAM per GB of
the total of all cache_dirs (more on 64 bit servers such as Alpha), plus
your cache_mem setting and about an additional 10-20MB. It is
recommended to have at least twice this amount of physical RAM available
on your Squid server."
