There're a number of reporting scripts out there which will parse your access.log and report cache hit rates, which will provide hard statistics on cache *effectiveness*. For a list, see: http://www.squid-cache.org/Scripts/ These are useful for showing management the hard and soft dollar savings from deploying web caching. By efficiency, I assume you are looking for a way to learn whether your current settings for "replacement policy" and for "refresh_pattern" are efficient, or whether objects are being re-fetched when, under a different tuning, they could potentially have been served out of cache? Or perhaps you mean something else by "efficiency"? Thanks, Kevin
