- check whether you have adequate RAM versus the total size
of the cache (see FAQ)
- Check squid process SIZE versus RSS with :
% top
verify whether the squid process 'fits' in memory
and does not need swap.
- Average swap need of the system can be checked with :
% free
If there is to much swap in use. Squid performance can be hampered too.
- Squid rpm's from vendors sometime have all option configured
with configure.
In that case I advise to build squid manually, with only those
configure options needed which you want.
