Hi there, Why not make use of some of your RAM for cache_mem? It will make requests for smaller, more frequently requested files a hell of a lot quicker, and it should give you a better hit ratio. # 3GB process size limit in 32bit, so don't set higher than 1 GB for a very busy cache cache_mem 512 MB maximum_object_size_in_memory 2048 KB A few refresh_patterns to get images and other static content in cache for longer:- refresh_pattern \.jpg$ 3600 50% 60 ignore-reload refresh_pattern \.gif$ 3600 50% 60 ignore-reload refresh_pattern \.css$ 3600 50% 60 ignore-reload refresh_pattern \.js$ 3600 50% 60 ignore-reload # Cache all html for 5 minutes refresh_pattern \.html$ 300 50% 10 ignore-reload After the first time an image is loaded into cache you should see 'TCP_MEM_HIT' or 'TCP_HIT' in your logs until it expires (after 1 hour), at which point the image will be downloaded from the origin web servers. Give it a go, the refresh patterns should definitely help with caching. ant2ne wrote: > > I got this 1TB drive and mounted it as /cache.
