Hi folks, we are having some kind of performance problem here and I want to ask you guys for advice. We are a school with 1200 students, and 200 pc's running squid + Dansguardian as proxying service. The http requests tend to be slow at peak moments and I am wondering if I could resolv this by changing the setup. Currently we have a celeron 900 pc with 1 ATA disk acting as a proxy. A nearby factory donated an old dual P2-300 server with 7 SCSI disks 4GB each. I read that performance of squid increases with every disk you add, so will the switch to this slower (cpu wise) system be beneficial to us, ro should I stick to the celeron 900 and add some more RAM ? The celeron has 256MB RAM, the donated server has 512MB RAM. Are there ways to benchmark squid in an easy way ?
