I think the most probably reason is that squid started using either too much of memory that could cause the machine swapping, see http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidMemory Or maybe is used too much of disk space that could cause disk i/o sloweness - many filesystems tend to slow down when filled too much, and having more space filles with data of course causes the disk to be more accessed. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
