Hi folks, i'm running squid for about 30 users with a very close to standard setup. The proxy is transparrent to the users. I increased the cache size to 14 G and have allocated about 512 mb ram. Apart from that the conf is standard. Below I enclose a "calamaris statistic report", which is where my trouble begins. I often have a negative average speed increase, and my byte hit ratio is bad - approxematly 3-5 % allthough I get a good request hit ratio. My hope is that anyone by looking at the report can help me improve the overall proxy performance. If needed I'll enclose the squid.conf file. # Summary Calamaris statistics --------------------------------------------------------- -------------- ------ lines parsed: lines 126047 invalid lines: lines 0 parse time: sec 41 parse speed: lines/sec 3074 --------------------------------------------------------- -------------- ------ Proxy statistics --------------------------------------------------------- -------------- ------ Total amount: requests 126047 unique hosts/users: hosts 34 Total Bandwidth: Byte 3360M Proxy efficiency (HIT [kB/sec] / DIRECT [kB/sec]): factor 0.66 Average speed increase: % -2.28 TCP response time of 100% requests: msec 755 --------------------------------------------------------- -------------- ------ Cache statistics --------------------------------------------------------- -------------- ------ Total amount cached: requests 47735 Request hit rate: % 37.87 Bandwidth savings: Byte 150M Bandwidth savings in Percent (Byte hit rate): % 4.47 Average cached object size: Byte 3299 Average direct object size: Byte 42980 Average object size: Byte 27952 --------------------------------------------------------- -------------- ------ #
