Hello,
I am running squid-2.7.STABLE7 and we are experiencing poor
performance (very slow page loads, timeouts etc.). This is in a large
campus setting with a few thousand users. One observation is that the
elapsed time for HTTPS CONNECT operations looks like below. Are these
numbers normal, or too high? Over longer durations, I find many values
clustered around 60000, 120000, 240000 etc., which makes me suspect
timeouts. The elapsed times for GET and POST are better.
For example
$ sudo tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log | grep CONNECT

and the following commands:
$ sudo tail -n 100000 /var/log/squid/access.log | awk '/GET/ {total
+=$2; c += 1}END{print c, total/c }'
89789 3819.93
$ sudo tail -n 100000 /var/log/squid/access.log | awk '/POST/ {total+=
$2; c += 1}END{print c, total/c }'
5373 3318.82
$ sudo tail -n 100000 /var/log/squid/access.log | awk '/CONNECT/{total
+= $2; c += 1}END{print c, total/c }'
4640 81533.5
As you can see, the elapsed time for CONNECT (~81s average) is far
higher than the others (about 3-4s average). Is this just due to
connections being kept alive, or is there something else
likely wrong? Also, do the average numbers for the others look normal
or are they too high?
Thanks,
Nitin Chandrachoodan
