I have installed a bridge tproxy proxy in a fast server with 8GB ram. The traffic is around 50mb/s. When I start for first time the proxy (with the cache empty) the proxy works very well but when the cache becomes full (few hours later) the bridge goes very slow, the traffic goes below 10mb/s and the web browsing is very slow. The proxy server becomes unusable. Any hints of what may be happening? I'm using: linux-2.6.30.10 iptables-1.4.3.2 squid-3.1.1 all compiled form sources.
