That is a very bad advice I would say. What it does it to increase
Squids memory usage by 120MB, most likely totally killing the
performance of the box by swapping.
The amount you specify in cache_mem is in addition to the memory Squid
needs for maintaining the cache, not a limit of the total memory usage.
See the Squid FAQ for details.
My recommended setting for cache_mem is usually 4 to 32MB depending on
server size and bandwidth. If you have a small machine then set it as
low as 2MB.
