Many people on this thread are giving information which they believe to
be true, but in most cases it isn't (having the right mix of RAM/swap,
and having data swapped to disk, can make your computer *more*
responsive). If you want accurate information you should visit the
kernel mailing list and/or read the kernel source / docs). There is a
large amount of information available on how to tune your kernel swap
variables.
The same advice goes for squid (and how squid can best use RAM (eg: you
*won't* make squid perform better by assigning it large amounts of RAM
directly). There is a large amount of posts on the squid-users mailing
list regarding swap and memory use.
