Just tested and verified this. At least in Squid 3.0 minimum_object_size
affects both memory and disk caches. Anyone know if this is true in 3.1
as well? Any thoughts as to how to split it? I may be wrong and likely
am but I recall there was separate minimum_object_size for each cache at
one time.

How do I configure squid to only cache small objects, say less than

I want to optimize the cache based on object size. The reasoning is
the small stuff will change often and be accessed the most while the
larger items that tie up bandwidth will not change as often and I can
cache more aggressively. Also this way I minimize disk io and lag. I
am using squid 3.0. While I can see this being done with the disk
cache I am not certain the memory cache can be configured like this
anymore as the options seem to be missing.
Thanks,
