Altho I have some servers that have swaplogs that are 1.6 gigs but are fine as they the servers have never been restarted. I have never run squid -k rotate. I have another server that just started exibiting the same sort of behaviour of slowing down. I tried lowing the available disk size to force it trim some files and did a squid -k rotate but it was still slow. It's getting to be kind of a drag having to contantly wipe out the cache every few months when they get to a larger size. The disks are 146 Gig and are only 56% full. I am trying to keep lowering the alloted available cache size to see if there is a sweet spot. How often should squid -k rotate be used. It seems like there are various opinions on its usage and frequency.
