For on-disk objects about 100 bytes.

In-memory objects obviously uses a lot more. Probably something like 1kb
+ the object size rounded up to 4k pages.

Also disable the client db unless you need to use the maxconn acl

  client_db off

And don't configure with too many filedescriptors. The default 1024 is
probably reasonable for the environment. (Note: configure flag in
squid-3, squid.conf option in 2.7)
