[squid-users] Squid 2.x maximum_object_size related to memory usage

Is Squid 2.6 too going to eat up to maximum_object_size of memory while
retrieving a new object, before it decides whether to write it to disk?
I'm considering to increase this value, so it never hurts to ask. Thank you.

 From http://man.chinaunix.net/newsoft/squid/Squid_FAQ/FAQ.html#toc8.1

> Squid-1.1 also uses a lot of memory to store in-transit objects. This
