I have a general question regarding Squid 3.2.x and the hot object cache. According to what I found in the FAQ, the "hot object cache" is located in RAM, taking an amount of RAM limited by cache_mem. So, frequently requested objects are stored in this memory area. But what is a hot item? How big can a hot item be? Are objects transferred from the cache_mem to the disk cache (and vice versa). The reason for my question: WOuld a RAM disk help to speed up the proxy? -- Ralf Hildebrandt Charite Universitätsmedizin Berlin ralf.hildebrandt@xxxxxxxxxx Campus Benjamin Franklin http://www.charite.de Hindenburgdamm 30, 12203 Berlin Geschäftsbereich IT, Abt.
