Has anyone looked at their average cached object size
lately?
At one point, I assume due to measurements, squid
set a default to 13KB / item.
About 6 or so years ago, I checked mine out:
(cd /var/cache/squid;
cachedirs=( $(printf "%02X " {0..63}) )
echo $[$(du -sk|cut -f1)/$(find ${cachedirs[@]} -type f |wc -l)]
)
--- got '47K, or over 3x the default.
Did it again recently:
310K/item average.
Is the average size of web items going up or are these peculiar to
my users' browser habits (or auto-update programs from windows
going through cache, etc...).
Maybe the default in squid.conf should be bumped?
