Thanks. After looking into it more, it appears squidGuard seems to be taking a while to initialize the blacklists. The only reason I have to reload squid3 is for squidGuard to recognize the new blacklist entries. I am using Berkley DB for the first time, perhaps that's why it takes longer? Although, I don't really see what Berkley DB is doing for me as I am still using flat files for my domains/urls? Guess I should take this to the squidGuard list! -----Original Message----- From: Eliezer Croitoru [mailto:eliezer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, December 19, 2011 1:04 PM To: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: After reloading squid3, takes about 2 minutes to serve pages?
