you can messure cache miss/ hit ratio to get an idea. lot of opensource tools are there. (calamaris etc..). if it caches properly ur access time will be faster . are u using the default squid configuration ?. i also had this issue and i have changed the cache replacement algorithms, cache mem size. and some other parameters.., SCSI drives...etc..and now its faster. rgds, Tharanga ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mario Almeida" <malmeida@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 3:56 PM Subject: help on performances > Hi all, > > Need some help on how to improve the performance of squid proxy. > > My problem is when I access any site directly it is faster but when used > proxy its slow. > > Don't know where I have made a mistake. > > Need some help? > > Regards, > Remy > > > >
