[squid-users] HDD/RAM Capacity vs store_avg_object_size

[bugreporter]

Hi,

Thank you for this clarification. Can you please tell me what is the best
method to measure the RAM used by Squid? Can I trust *top* and/or *ps* and
look at the RSS? Or you suggest another method (maybe using the manager)?

For instance on a 64x when I start squid without cache_dir and a cache_mem
of 0MB, the  "*top*" command gives me the following:
  
/PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
10996 root        0 -20   70436   3504   1000 S  0.0  0.2   0:00.00 squid
10999 squid      0 -20  624472 144052   6152 S  0.0  7.0   0:03.34 squid/

But the output of "squidclient -h localhost -p 3128 mgr:info' gives me this:

/Resource usage for squid:
...
Maximum Resident Size: 576208 KB
/
Can you please give me advice about that?

Kind Regards,
