Hi All, I've got a squid cache running as transparent proxy on an _very_ old machine. P 133 Mhz 128MB Ram 20GB Hard Disk 1GB Cache in aufs Fedora Core 3 Here are the stats reported by calamaris 2.99 Total amount: requests 10471 Total amount cached: requests 1330 Request hit rate: % 12.70 Total Bandwidth: Byte 107M Bandwidth savings: Byte 1767K Bandwidth savings in Percent (Byte hit rate): % 1.62 Proxy efficiency (HIT [kB/sec] / DIRECT [kB/sec]): factor 0.77 Average speed increase: % -0.49 Suffice to say, I'm pretty dismayed by it's performance. (granted that the hardware is substandard.) Besides the hardware, what else could be done to up the speed? (for one thing, this little "crap" PC has very slow disk transfer rate. HAHA... (looking to another crap PC to upgrade this old "crap" haha) -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
