Hello mark, I also had a problem with this cache replacement. and browsing was very slow...then i used LFDUA and evrything is seems to be fine now..no complaints from users :). but to get real performance cache_mem and filedecriptor limits (before u compil the squid) should be configured properly. but my proxy is really speed now and when i use calamaris.cgi i can see lot of cache_hits than cache_misses. hope this will help.. --Tharanga-- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Elsen" <mark.elsen@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jeff@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 2:32 PM Subject: Re: about cache_replacement_policy > > hello,lists, > > > > Given my server is linux 2.6 kernel with 64-bit CPU system. > > Before I begin to run Squid,can you tell me which cache_replacement_policy > > (LRU,GDSF,LFUDA) is the best for me?Thanks. > > > > There's no general rule of thumb, if you read descriptions > on these policies , it will probably depend on your > user community and their general internet access profile. > > If all your users download movies, all the time, you will > need another setting, then, if they only look at very small > objects (for instance). > > The best bed, on the long run, is to compare, cache efficiency > params from cachemgr, when switching from either policy > replacement option. > But that is an iterative process, which works over a longer period > of time (only). > > M. >
