Hi, I have a pair of forward proxy's (Squid 2.6STABLE 21/EL5 averaging about 500-600requests per minute currently. All caching has been disabled. Some users are reporting high latency and slow browsing. Below is a snapshot of stats from Squid. Could someone tell me if anything stands out that would cause a problem? Service times look to be acceptable to me, but perhaps I am looking at them incorrectly?
