Some times TCP_HIT is logged when it really should have been TCP_REFRESH_HIT. This can happen if the object uses Vary if I remember correctly. Another possibility is if the Squid serer is swapping, causing Squid to delay everything waiting for swap activity. A third possibility is if you have ACLs which may cause delays, such as DNS dependencies or external acl lookups. Regards Henrik
