For the memory and cache replacement > policies Heap LFUDa, or is there a better choice? the cache_dir option is still a little messy, there are no units on the sizes there. So your initial '15000' is correct to create a 15GB cache-dir. Optimisations would be to use aufs to grab asynchronous capabilities of store. And possibly a small COSS cache-dir to speed up small object caching. > Unrelated to cache, but my logformat i've got the squid logformat > uncommented, i'd like to display it's time formats in local time for > interpreting at a glance. Is this doable? Yes. Easiest way is to "emulate_httpd on". that creates access.log in common apache format. Otherwise you can make your own log format.
