This is the sole purpose of the replacement policy: to determine which old objects to automatically delete to make room for more interesting new objects when you cache is full. See the research paper mentioned for a detailed description of the purpose and effect of the "heap LRU" algorithm. Summary: The "heap LRU" algorithm exists as a reference to compare the heap implementation with the implementation of the standard squid lru algorithm. It provides no benefits (only drawbacks) compared to the standard Squid lru algorithm.
