Hello *,
When downloading a cached file from the local squid, I just get about
250 - 280kB/s. Even on localhost. Is this a limitation with diskd
serving files from cache or some intern limit? I also tried aufs, but
didn't get a better rate. I found a thread here about this, but it got
more into a diskd/aufs discussion :) and didn't provide a solution or
explains it.
It doesn't look like it's disk/system related, vmstat/top doesn't show
high load.
linux 2.6 celeron 600MHz
squid-2.5.STABLE12 Debian GNU/Linux
2 x cache_dir diskd 1G 8 128 on 2 x SCSI reiserfs
32M cache_mem, acls, .. need more info?
TIA, ritch
I too have experience this. I believe this is because Squid has built-in
safeguards to keep users from flooding the disk and to even the load
across all disks for all users. Another reason is Squid handles all
requests in sequential order--client requests, server requests, and
memory/disk cache reads/writes.. It is like a virtualized network
handler or VM. It really doesn't want one client to kill all others..
HTH,
