There was a report about an issue and the claim was Ubuntu Kernel issue. I believe that the first step would be to find out if a kernel downgrade or upgrade (to xenial one) helps with the issue.

The squid is using 4 worker process and is used as an explicit and intercept proxy. We have been facing a problem of squid processes consuming the memory gradually and eventually it comes to a minimum threshold. The end user browsing experience becomes extremely slow at that time. Cache memory configured is 2 GB and total memory of squid machines is 8 and 16 GB on different boxes. The memory consumption graphs shows a gradual decrease in available physical RAM and we have to ultimately restart the squid boxed after 3-4 days. The stats we get from cachemgr show: Cache information for squid: Hits as % of all requests: 5min: 1.7%, 60min: 2.2% Hits as % of bytes sent: 5min: 0.2%, 60min: 0.1% Memory hits as % of hit requests: 5min: 91.7%, 60min: 82.8% Disk hits as % of hit requests: 5min: 0.0%, 60min: 0.0% Storage Swap size: 0 KB Storage Swap capacity: 0.0% used, 0.0% free Storage Mem size: 2097056 KB Storage Mem capacity: 100.0% used, 0.0% free Mean Object Size: 0.00 KB We are suspecting memory leaks to be the cause of this. Please share you experiences .
