Any special messages in cache.log ? BTW: Instead of cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 10000 16 256 I would prefere cache_dir aufs /var/spool/squid 10000 16 256 #Might need ./configure make in case your squid #is not built with aufs storage module Should be faster under load. Then, you might be even able to increase throughput by using more threads for I/O with option --enable-async-io=nn for configure, after checking the statistics with cachemgr. -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/Still-having-some-slowness-tp4664821p4664826.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
