Option Name:

store_avg_object_size

Suggested Config:


Details:

Average object size, used to estimate number of objects your
cache can hold.  The default is 13 KB.

This is used to pre-seed the cache index memory allocation to
reduce expensive reallocate operations while handling clients
traffic. Too-large values may result in memory allocation during
peak traffic, too-small values will result in wasted memory.

Check the cache manager 'info' report metrics for the real
object sizes seen by your Squid before tuning this.
