Hi, I don't know how to handle memory for squid. Squid automatically
breaks down itself and restarts:

In my squid.conf I set:

url_rewrite_children 120 startup=30 idle=100 concurrency=0
max_filedesc 7168
cache_swap_low 60
cache_swap_high 80

I notice that just one pending requests queued:

2011/06/09 11:00:17| WARNING: All redirector processes are busy.
2011/06/09 11:00:17| WARNING: 1 pending requests queued

and follow is more details of cache.log:
