ok, read that already, i set cache_mem to 5GB, so is not ok?
No. Squid will use more than 6 GB with cache_mem set to 5 GB.
I suggest that you use 2500 MB and after Squid runs for 1 hour, see what the total process size is.

I have 8GB physical memory and my swap is 32GB.
I didn't increase the swap yet, should I?
You must start with reading the memory FAQ: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidMemory
The general rule for all processes applies: make sure that a process is *not* larger than 80% of the physical memory.
In your case, you must reduce cache_mem and make sure that Squid does not use more than 6 GB.
A swap of 32 GB is fine for a system with 8 GB physical memory.
I also suggest to consider a memory upgrade.

Thank you all, this is the output:
vm.overcommit_memory = 0
vm.swappiness = 60
I have a Redhat 6.6
The value of vm.overcommit_memory is OK.
The default value for vm.swappiness is way too high. It means that Linux swaps out parts of processes when they are idle for a while.
For better overall system performance, you want those processes in memory as long as possible and not swapped out so I recommend to change it to 15.
This implies that the OS has 15% of the physical memory available for file system buffers which is plenty.
You only mentioned that the swap is 32 GB. What is the size of the physical memory ?
Did you already increase the swap ?

On Linux, an important sysctl parameter that determines how Linux behaves with respect to VM allocation is vm.overcommit_memory (should be 0).
And vm.swappiness is important to tune servers (should be 10-15).
Which version of Linux do you have and what is the output of
sysctl -a | grep -e vm.overcommit_memory -e vm.swappiness

Both probably. 128 GB swap I suspect you will need.
Increase the swap so the system lets Squid use more virtual memory.
Decrease the cache_mem so that Squid does not actually end up using the
swap for its main worker processes. That is a real killer for performance.
