memory, memory, memory. The more you can throw at the problem the
more objects can be kept and served while hot. Squid with 64-bit can
easily handle many GBs of memory cache. (at cost of slow shutdown
when it saves the hottest to disk for the next round.)

Been a while since I looked at these, to maximize bytes you want the
policy that looks at object size as well as 'coldness'. To remove
the smaller cool objects before the larger equally cool ones.

By the way, what about the ideal settings for cache_mem, cache size
and so on, is there any formula ? Are 2*500 GB HD faster than 1*1TB ?
