Well, I just thought to myself - why to allow squid do such things? Squid
stores object in files anyway, and *it* knows better which objects to
store in memory and which on disk, when memory is low - probably better
that OS. SO if you are going to store data on disk anyway, why store it
twice - once in sqiud files and once in swap file? Why just not to say
squid "get in line"? Or am I thinking wrong and this approach of
"everything in swap" is good?
