We run Squid 1.1.5 on an AlphaServer 1000 (320 megabytes of RAM) with DU
4. cache_mem is 40, cache_swap is 14000. The machine is devoted to Web
caching and it works fine (Squid is currently 310 megabytes in size).

Replace DEC's malloc with GNU malloc. Huge gain.

Be sure to first query Squid about its usage of memory. For instance,
what does "info" on the cache manager does?
