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
delay_class 1 2
delay_access 1 allow drumuri
delay_access 1 deny all
#delay_parameters 1 10485760/10485760 #mmare 512 kbs
#delay_parameters 1 131072/131072        #1024 kbs
delay_parameters 1 524288/524288  32768/32768        #Total 4 mb, per utilizator 256 kbs

There are moments when the squid process uses approximatively all the RAM and goes into swapping. After that I restart it, it goes well for a while and again eats up all the memory.
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.
