hi Marc,
Find the info you asked
1) squid Version 2.5.STABLE9 2) Linux (slackware) kernel 2.6.11.3 3) 2 sata hard drive 37GB each

- check whether you have adequate RAM versus the total size
of the cache (see FAQ)
- 2 GB of physical RAM
- Check squid process SIZE versus RSS with :
% top
squid 15 0 883m 714m 1204 S 26.0 80.8 3147:47 squid
verify whether the squid process 'fits' in memory
and does not need swap.
- Average swap need of the system can be checked with :
% free
total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 883 874 9 0 57 32 -/+ buffers/cache: 784 98 Swap: 1913 759 1154
squid is installed from source with ....
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.
#squid -v
Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE9
configure options: --prefix=/usr/local/squid --enable-poll --enable-snmp --enable-cache_digests --enable-underscores --enable-removal-policies=heap,lru --enable-storeio=aufs,coss,diskd,ufs --enable-delay-pools --enable-linuxnetfilter --with-pthreads --enable-icmp --enable-arp-acl --enable-htcp
In that case I advise to build squid manually, with only those configure options needed which you want.
