That is probably too high. You should set it lower, like 128MB, then
wait until Squid's disk cache fills up. Once Squid has been running for
a while with a full cache, then consider increasing cache_mem if you
have RAM that is being unused.

RSS is essentially the process size. It stands for Resident Set Size.
