Hello,

We are using squid version squid-2.6.STABLE21-6.el5. But getting very
poor performance.

Our total Internet user are almost 750. At a time 500 to 600 user
browse internet.

all of them are getting slow response. it takes 10 to 30 second to load a page.

Here I am giving you some out put.

Could you please let me know what might be the reason for getting slow
performance. We have 14 mbps of Internet bandwidth.

We are doing some content filtering also with squid.

There are several possible reasons:

* you have configured squid in a inefficient way
- I'm happy to do free performance audits here if you want to paste your squid.conf to the list (obscure the cachemgr_passwd detail though please)

* you are content filtering
- this is a major slowdown for Squid no matter what type of filtering is being done

* overloaded or slow disks I/O speeds on disk cache
 - only relevant if you are disk caching

* 2.6 will be adding to the slowdown
- 2.7 series had a performance focus on development and is a good 20% faster just in the code. - 2.6 has low HTTP/1.1 compliance, meaning you loose out on many HTTP/1.1 performance features available in later releases.
