I'm wondering if anybody knows what might be causing this. I've confirmed this problem in linux builds of Squid 3.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.10 and 3.2.0.4. Using firefox (or probably any browser - it also happens in a webkit based browser under development) clear the browser's disk cache and try to load or reload http://ireport.cnn.com (with proxy address/port set to Squid of course). Loading the page takes a very long time (several minutes) even on a fast network connection. Take Squid out of the mix and everything loads in seconds. This is using the default squid.conf file. The problem does not happen in Squid 2.7! Thanks, Max
There are 101 different objects assembled into that one page coming from 10 different domains.
Browsers set a very low limit on the amount of connections and objects fetched in parallel when using a proxy as compared to going direct. Large pages like this make the speed difference more noticeable.
That will account for some of the extra time. But should not be taking that much longer. You will need to find out which objects are taking too long (firebug or the webkit dev tools should help) and then figure out why them.
