[squid-users] performance deterioration.

Hey

Just a quick query. It seems that squid (slowly) consumes more and more
swap, to the point where it needs to be restarted to get the memory
back. I'm not sure exactly what the time frame of this is, but roughly a
fortnight or less. At the moment, which is approx. 10hrs after a
restart, it looks like:

        PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND
           250 squid 100 30 0 652M 648M cpu/0 285:26 38.51% squid

which seems OK, but before the restart, it looked like:

        PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND
        18615 squid 100 60 0 2453M 1174M sleep 162.4H 20.00% squid

The machine is an Ultra 250 running squid2.4s4 under Solaris 8.
2GB memory, A1000 disk array.
cache_mem is 60MB, and has 6 cache_dir's configured as:
cache_dir aufs /cache/00 10000 16 256
It's currently handling ~50 client req/s.

(need more info?)

could it just be the spool is too large for the available ram?
