I installed Squid 2.7.STABLE6 on a Linux virtual machine, which is
running on the same physical machine that Squid on Windows is
running. I copied the configuration file in, changed a couple
paths to the Linux paths, and started up Squid.
I then changed the NAT to the Virtual Machine, and now file
transfers are as fast as they should be. While this solution
works, I'd rather not have to run another virtual machine just for
Squid when it works fine under Windows except for the slow transfers..
It sounds like there's a bug in Squid windows, or some hidden
setting or something? I can't imagine I'm the first person to
encounter this problem.
The problem could be Windows itself: the network I/O capability of
Squid when running on Windows is limited "by design" because select()
is the only multiplatform compatible comm loop available, but it's
the worse ....
On same HW, a Linux build will be always a better performer.
