Squid excessive memory consuming on Fedora 12
There is squid 3.1.8 on a Fedora 12 server with 2 GB of RAM. It is used for sharing the Internet for approximatively 80 PC's. The problem is that it is really a memory hog, when enabling delay pools.
I am using the following configuration for the memory pools: Code:
delay_pools 1 On the Internet it says that Squid uses a lot of memory, but should it use 2 GB of memory, even if all 80 people are online at the same time? Also, please tell me how could I minimise the memory usage. I googled for it, but found nothing regarding delay pools. |

I guess that the problem is solved, now squid uses much less memory at the expense of some additional CPU activity:
I compiled squid with the --enable-dlmalloc switch, by using the SRPM from http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...1.fc15.src.rpm. |
This is working
Thanks a lot dear for this solutions.
I use this in RHEL 6. |
