If your squid cache size is always smaller than the RAM available to the squid
process(es), then I wouldn't worry about it.

However, squid is capable of caching much more data than fits into RAM. In
that case, you'll want to tweak squid's memory settings so that it
appropriately chooses what objects to cache on disk.
