Hello folks, I have installed latest stable version of squid (2.5 stable 12) on a server with the following specs dual xeon 3.2 ghz, 1gb ram, 4x36.4 gb scsi 15k rpm When i start squid with the acl's i have defined in squid.conf (most of the acl examples are taken from squid-cache.org from some other people's examples) cpu goes to 99%-100% and memory to about 60% and browsing through squid is painfull, like 60-80% decrease in speed browsing and loading of sites. When i comment out the acls its working just fine (0.2-1.1% cpu and 0.1% mem) and browsing speed is just normal. These are the acl's that give me the problems (or so i think, because if i comment those out its working just fine): #acl users src 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 #acl magic_words1 url_regex -i 192.168 #delay_pools 2 #delay_class 1 2 #delay_parameters 1 512000/512000 20000/512000 #delay_access 1 allow users #delay_class 2 2 #delay_parameters 2 -1/-1 -1/-1 #delay_access 2 allow magic_words1 #reply_body_max_size 67108864 deny #acl hacking1 url_regex "/usr/local/squid/etc/deny/hacking1" #acl noporn url_regex "/usr/local/squid/etc/deny/noporn" #acl hacking2 url_regex "/usr/local/squid/etc/deny/hacking2" #acl porn_deny1 url_regex "/usr/local/squid/etc/deny/porn_deny1" #acl porn_deny2 url_regex "/usr/local/squid/etc/deny/porn_deny2" #acl proxy_deny url_regex "/usr/local/squid/etc/deny/proxy_deny" #acl warez_deny url_regex "/usr/local/squid/etc/deny/warez_deny" #acl warez_deny2 url_regex "/usr/local/squid/etc/deny/warez_deny2" acl download2 urlpath_regex -i "/usr/local/squid/etc/denydownload.txt" acl POST method POST http_access deny download2 http_reply_access deny download2 #http_access allow noporn #http_access deny hacking1 #http_access deny hacking2 #http_access deny porn_deny1 #http_access deny porn_deny2 #http_access deny proxy_deny #http_access deny warez_deny #http_access deny warez_deny2 What am I doing wrong?
