Hi, sry, when I said maximum_object_size I wanted to say
maximum_object_size_in_memory :P.
Right now (i don't know how) it's working. Here is some info:

It's very VERY good compared with I was getting before.
My box is a P4 3.0 with 4 GB RAM under FedoraCore 5.

For what it's worth (and last I read), Squid only stores
fetched-from-the-source objects in memory. Once an object has been
flushed to disk (like on shutdown) it will not pull subsequent
CACHE_HITS in to the memory cache.
Hence the suggestion of letting the OS use the majority of memory for
disk caching.
