hi Markus, Thanks for your quick response and the information! "export KRB5RCACHETYPE=none" in squid init script did the job, high cpu usage is gone. Squid Version is 2.7Stable6, Requests per second are about 20 average, i don´t know if this is low, medium or high squid load, i would guess low :) Thanks again for your help!
