Memory Usage

[mbrossar]

My memory usage keeps creeping up to 85%.  I'm running pfSense on a NetGate with 256MB of RAM.  Only packages I'm running are Squid and Dansguardian.  My first question is this normal for these packages?  It seems high.  I suspect it has to do with my proxy setting, but I can't seem to effect a change.

My cache management proxy settings related to RAM are:

• Memory Cache Size = 1MB

• Maximum Object Size in RAM = 32KB

• Memory Replacement Policy = LRU

• Low Water Mark = 5%

• High Water MArk = 50%

Do these values look appropriate?  Am I looking in the wrong place?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Running Squid and Dans in 256MB is always going to be a tight fit. If it's working OK for you be happy about that.  ;) So yes 85% seems entirely expected, quite low even.
