Hello !!
"squidclient mgr:info" shows :
Request Memory Hit Ratios: 5min: 4.5%, 60min: 6.2%
Request Disk Hit Ratios: 5min: 44.9%, 60min: 48.8%
my maximum_object_size_in_memory are 64kb ...
Whereas average object size on the internet these days is approaching 256KB
Have a look at your cache avg size stats (squidclient mgr:info) and
check "Mean Object Size". The memory objects should be at least that
size for good performance.
this servers is dedicated to squid (quad opteron with 4gb ram,
cache_mem 128MB) ..
can i increat cache_mem to 256mb and maximum obj in memory to 128kb ?
You could increase cache_mem to 1GB and max mem objects to 512KB if you
like.
The more RAM you can throw at the mem cache the more MEM_HITs you are
going to get.
which are the best values ?
Best depends on your server load and usage. Only a period of manual
monitoring and tweaking will show that. But in general more RAM is better.
Remembering of course that squid still uses additional RAM for its indexes.

Please use Squid 2.6STABLE17 or 3.0STABLE1.
There are serious security advisories out on all earlier releases.
