Well, hmm, it's a good question: Connection information for squid: Number of clients accessing cache: 15283 Number of HTTP requests received: 12646939 Number of ICP messages received: 0 Number of ICP messages sent: 0 Number of queued ICP replies: 0 Request failure ratio: 0.00 Average HTTP requests per minute since start: 3076.3 Average ICP messages per minute since start: 0.0 Select loop called: 217751038 times, 1.133 ms avg Cache information for squid: Request Hit Ratios: 5min: 43.8%, 60min: 43.5% Byte Hit Ratios: 5min: 33.8%, 60min: 34.4% Request Memory Hit Ratios: 5min: 43.2%, 60min: 41.6% Request Disk Hit Ratios: 5min: 0.1%, 60min: 0.2% Storage Swap size: 0 KB Storage Mem size: 4194536 KB Mean Object Size: 0.00 KB Requests given to unlinkd: 0 Median Service Times (seconds) 5 min 60 min: HTTP Requests (All): 0.00463 0.00463 Cache Misses: 0.01745 0.01847 Cache Hits: 0.00000 0.00000 Near Hits: 0.00286 0.00286 Not-Modified Replies: 0.00000 0.00000 DNS Lookups: 0.00000 0.00000 ICP Queries: 0.00000 0.00000 Resource usage for squid: UP Time: 246667.838 seconds CPU Time: 10025.721 seconds CPU Usage: 4.06% CPU Usage, 5 minute avg: 3.49% CPU Usage, 60 minute avg: 3.61% Process Data Segment Size via sbrk(): 92 KB Maximum Resident Size: 8809296 KB Page faults with physical i/o: 1 Memory accounted for: Total accounted: 4409635 KB memPoolAlloc calls: 2099536771 memPoolFree calls: 2095137519 File descriptor usage for squid: Maximum number of file descriptors: 11095 Largest file desc currently in use: 324 Number of file desc currently in use: 309 Files queued for open: 0 Available number of file descriptors: 10786 Reserved number of file descriptors: 100 Store Disk files open: 0 IO loop method: kqueue Internal Data Structures: 155377 StoreEntries 155377 StoreEntries with MemObjects 154959 Hot Object Cache Items 0 on-disk objects "Mean Object Size" is 0.00 KB, which must be a display error. :) If we divide "Storage Mem size" of 4194536 KB by 155377 "StoreEntries with MemObjects" then that would suggest mean object size of about 27 KB, which intuitively sounds reasonable. > The amount of metadata kept per cache_mem object is pretty large and not > accounted for in cache_mem limits, much larger than the amount kept for > disk-only objects. If there is really another 27 KB of metadata per object, then what can we do to reduce the problems with fork()ing new URL rewriters? As it is we have to double memory the requirements (again) in order to avoid once-a-day downtime due to log rotation. Would we be better off to declare a large memfs and have squid use it as "disk" storage? Thanks!
