Hi Chris, > Okay... These look pretty good. Hits are fast, misses are okay, DNS > requests are about what I would expect... I'm a bit perplexed. What are > the symptoms of slow connections?

NO, the situation is very simple: not matter content of page. Even if www.google.com is accesed, it take more then 20-30s to load/display it correctly. Without squid, www.google.com is loaded instantly! If matter, i am using pam_mysql plugin to autenticate users via mysql database. All our squid users are virtuals (no one shell account). Saturday (not a working day) on 24th i tested squid again arround 15 PM. The speed seems to be good!!!! Below comes runtime infos: Connection information for squid: Number of clients accessing cache: 93 Number of HTTP requests received: 80035 Number of ICP messages received: 0 Number of ICP messages sent: 0 Number of queued ICP replies: 0 Request failure ratio: 0.00 Average HTTP requests per minute since start: 50.7 Average ICP messages per minute since start: 0.0 Select loop called: 1395442 times, 67.901 ms avg Cache information for squid: Request Hit Ratios: 5min: 31.8%, 60min: 30.4% Byte Hit Ratios: 5min: 30.7%, 60min: 16.8% Request Memory Hit Ratios: 5min: 73.9%, 60min: 15.9% Request Disk Hit Ratios: 5min: 20.8%, 60min: 32.2% Storage Swap size: 4279168 KB Storage Mem size: 88348 KB Mean Object Size: 17.93 KB Requests given to unlinkd: 0 Median Service Times (seconds) 5 min 60 min: HTTP Requests (All): 0.22004 0.07825 Cache Misses: 0.28853 0.23230 Cache Hits: 0.00598 0.00767 Near Hits: 0.00562 0.14252 Not-Modified Replies: 0.00000 0.00286 DNS Lookups: 0.25460 0.30421 ICP Queries: 0.00000 0.00000 Resource usage for squid: UP Time: 94751.350 seconds CPU Time: 90.325 seconds CPU Usage: 0.10% CPU Usage, 5 minute avg: 0.20% CPU Usage, 60 minute avg: 0.09% Process Data Segment Size via sbrk(): 125348 KB Maximum Resident Size: 0 KB Page faults with physical i/o: 1 Memory usage for squid via mallinfo(): Total space in arena: 125348 KB Ordinary blocks: 125197 KB 4170 blks Small blocks: 0 KB 0 blks Holding blocks: 1784 KB 3 blks Free Small blocks: 0 KB Free Ordinary blocks: 150 KB Total in use: 126981 KB 100% Total free: 150 KB 0% Total size: 127132 KB Memory accounted for: Total accounted: 111186 KB memPoolAlloc calls: 11312114 memPoolFree calls: 10645444 File descriptor usage for squid: Maximum number of file descriptors: 1024 Largest file desc currently in use: 126 Number of file desc currently in use: 111 Files queued for open: 0 Available number of file descriptors: 913 Reserved number of file descriptors: 100 Store Disk files open: 0 Internal Data Structures: 238974 StoreEntries 7753 StoreEntries with MemObjects 7752 Hot Object Cache Items 238643 on-disk objects Alex
