Given those cache sizes, your Squid box should be using around 110 MB of RAM for index plus a little. Even assuming a worst-case of a minutes traffic accumulated in transit buffers comes nowhere close to filling 16 GB up. Some questions that may help narrow down where the slow is coming

Hi How I can limit the ram memory use in my squid/tproxy box ? I have a fast server with 16Gb ram. The average bandwidth is about 60-70 Mb/s. The bridge works well but when the cache and memory becomes full its goes slow and becomes unusable. The cache is 10G size. I see that a few hours to

The fact that it runs fine initially then performance begins to degrade after a number of hours, I would start looking io statistics when the disk cache is full. aufs or diskd provide better performance so I would suggest using one of these methods for your cache_dir and see if you get an increase

The cache_mem parameter is 10 MB so the cached objects in memory are 10 MB. The cache_dir is 10 GB so the cached objects on disk are 10 GB. Most likely squid is slow because of the I/O. If you have 16 GB of memory and a 64-bit OS and 64-bit Squid you can set cache_mem to 4 GB to have a lot more
