        Where are you seeing this 98%? Your dashboard image shows 32%. Squid can take a LOT of memory depending on how you configure it. E2G is an unofficial, unsupported package with not many users running it.

            How do you know it's E2G causing the problem? Then there is the question: what is the actual problem you are having? As they say, free memory is wasted memory. Just it being used is not a problem in itself. However, if it is causing slowdowns and disk-thrashing then that is different.

                OK, so RAM usage decreases when E2G is disabled. Good to know.

                In the past, E2G has gobbled up RAM. See here:

                His solution was to turn off MitM web-filtering.

                      I can't help you as I've never installed or used that package. Look around in the options. It's to do with SSL interception, but if you turn that off then you can't do HTTPS content inspection I'm guessing.
