Hi Adrian, I saw the cacheboy project, is very intersting but, the code of cacheboy has the same features of squid example NTLM auth? With squid-2.6.5 (RHEL 5) in my tests with polymix-1 arrive in 200req/sec (COSS + Aufs) but squid performance is very slow to open pages. I compiled squid-2.6.21 and I have the same performance above. My machine - Intel Xeon dual processor 3.6GHz with 8GB Ram and 2 disks 146GB in raid 1 on LVM. /var/sqool/squid - ext3 noatime nodiratime - 20GB cache_dir coss /var/spool/squid/coss 2048 block-size=512 max-stripe-waste=131072 max-size=131072 cache_dir aufs /var/spool/squid/aufs 2048 32 256 max-size=50000000 cache_mem 2048 MB cache_swap_low 95% cache_swap_high 98% memory_pools on memory_pools_limit 5120 MB I have ntlm authentication in this machine.
