So if squid only uses 5-15MB, the rest of the memory is used by linux
correct?
How can I stop linux from them swapping out? I've heard that disk swapping
is a big no no on a box running squid... so I assumed that if you assigned
all the memory to squid, it wouldn't attempt to swap out on itself.
Hrm, i'm confused. :)
