swap partition or cache_swap partition? They have completely different
meaning.

the cache_mem means how much of memory will be user by squid to cache
objects. cache_swap means how much disk space will be used for the same
reason.

You can have system swap turned off (if you have enough of RAM) and have
big partition for cache_swap, better would be said, for squid cache.
(I have 30GB)

if you have 30 GB partition od disk free for using with squid, you can use
it as cache_swap without need for 30GB swap partition.
