Hi, I set up a dev instance of squid on my windows system. I've configured 2 browsers (Chrome & Firefox), chrome direct to the internet, firefox through the locally running instance of squid. I expected similar response times from the two browsers, but I consistently see firefox (configured to proxy through squid) takes 4x+ longer. Below are the logs showing response times from a hit on yahoo.com, the chrome browser opened the page in ~<2 seconds. I have used the windows binaries of squid and configured digest password authentication, everything else (other than default port) is left as default in the config file. After doing a packet capture I noted the following behavior: - When going through the proxy: 9 GET requests are made, and 9 HTTP responses are received in a reasonable time period (<2sec) - After the 9th HTTP response is sent, there is a 4 second delay until the next GET request is made - Then 6 GET requests are made, and 6 HTTP responses are received in a reasonable amount of time. - After the 6th GET request in this second group there is a 5 second delay until the next GET request is made. - This pattern repeats its self when the proxy is in use. - This pattern does not occur when I am not connected through the proxy. Any thoughts on this behavior? Thanks much, David Yahoo example log: 1268958646.966 417 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/301 602 GET http://yahoo.com/ test DIRECT/67.195.160.76 text/html 1268958652.263 5289 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/302 748 GET http://www.yahoo.com/ test DIRECT/209.191.122.70 text/html 1268958658.997 6726 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/200 38900 GET http://mx.yahoo.com/? test DIRECT/209.191.122.70 text/html 1268958664.895 5132 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/200 1616 GET http://d.yimg.com/a/i/ww/met/pa_icons/gmail_22_052809.gif test DIRECT/189.254.81.8 image/gif 1268958664.908 5142 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/200 1118 GET http://d.yimg.com/a/i/ww/met/pa_icons/glamout_22_012010.gif test DIRECT/189.254.81.8 image/gif 1268958666.087 6140 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/200 32906 GET http://l.yimg.com/br.yimg.com/i/img2/200911/111609_fp_movil.swf test DIRECT/189.254.81.35 application/x-shockwave-flash
