The speed increases 1.1 offers are limited and based more around the newer software simply being faster. If speed is an important issue to you upgrade to Squid-2.7 anyway. Otherwise test out Squid-3.1 and see if its usable for you. AFAICT 3.1 has ~1% more HTTP/1.1 support that 2.7, but is somewhat slower on small disk objects, faster on large and about equal on memory stored objects. NP: Squid cannot make network fetches go faster than the line speed. All it can do is cache things locally for a repeat request to be faster. For the best caching controls it's a toss up between 2.7 and 3.1 as of this writing. Amos
