If you take a look at the attached image, it's the memory usage on a
Squid-2.4.STABLE2 running on SGI Irix 6.5.12 and compiled with MIPSPro
7.3.1.2
A while ago, we were running squid compiled with the OS's malloc. After
a certain moment, the binary was replaced with one that was compiled
with dlmalloc. I think, just by looking at the image, you can figure out
when we made the transition. ;-)
The green area is the total memory used by squid ("total space in
arena"), the blue line is the allocated but unused memory ("total
free"). The graph appears to be in kBytes, but it's actually in MBytes.
Like i said, case closed. :-)
