Re: Squid memory requirements for 18G cache

Consider 13 KB average object size: then theoretically you may have at
most 18*1024*1024/13 (= ~1,450,000) objects in your cache

~100 bytes are needed for each object: (100*1,450,000 / 1024) / 1024 = ~
140 MB

And you probably need more memory for hot objects.
