[squid-users] memory_pools_limit question

Hi,
I would like to understand memory_pools and memory_pools_limits setting.

In case memory_pools_limit is set to none (as default),
all squid process memory that can be seen by ps(1) is being used by squid?

In case memory_pools_limit is set to 100MB and 1GB of memory is being
used by squid,  then actual memory usage is 900MB and 100MB is reserved
as unused.
In this case, process memory usage seen by ps(1) is 1GB.

Background of the question.
I would like to know whether memory_pool_limit size is
included in the process memory usage, seen from os commands such as
ps(1), top(1).
