Good day, I have 4GB RAM install in my squid server. After increasing the RAM "maximum resident size" due high page faults and reconfigure squid a "WARNING: Very large maximum_object_size_in_memory settings can have negative impact on performance" was displayed. What is the implication of this warning, any danger? See below for more information and excerpts from my squid.conf Regards, Yomi.
