I'm using Squid 2.6.13 locally on a FreeBSD 6.2 Desktop PC with a ufs store, and I am seeing slow download speeds on TCP_HIT downloads, which should be instantaneous on localhost. With cache misses I get normal fluctuating speeds, but with hits I get a steady 20KB/s per connection, which suggests there is some kind of rate-limiting going on. I tried deleting the cache and reinitializing, to no effect. I don't have delay pools built-in. There is nothing unusual in my squid.conf file, and I don't see anything new in the default version. I'm seeing this with both browsers and commandline tools. I'm pretty sure something has changed in Squid, a few months ago large images cached in squid were displaying instantaneously, even after deleting the browser cache.
