Current Testing Regimen

The following settings have been tested against the following:

While the default ATS options for this may be optimal under heavy load,
I found using the simpler LRU algorithm much faster and more useful.

The following specifies 128MB 256MB of RAM cache, with objects of unlimited size,
to be managed using LRU. During normal use, RAM utilization will rise and rise
until all 128MB 256MB is used, then the LRU algorithm should kick in. Also,
figure on at least 100MB of general RAM overhead for ATS in addition to this.

CONFIG proxy.config.cache.ram_cache.size INT 128M256M
CONFIG proxy.config.cache.ram_cache_cutoff INT 0
CONFIG proxy.config.cache.ram_cache.algorithm INT 1
CONFIG proxy.config.cache.ram_cache.use_seen_filter INT 0
