HTTP performance hit with Squid

[SaRaVanAn <saravanan.nagarajan87@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi ,

we have been using squid 3.1.20 comes with debian wheezy 7. We could see there is a peformance hit in http traffic when we use Squid.

For each HTTP GET request coming from client to proxy server, Squid takes nearly 2 seconds to generate HTTP GET in order to establish a connection with server.

There is always a ~2 second delay between the request coming to our system and going out of Squid. Suppose if a page has lot of embedded URL's it's taking more time with squid in place.Suppose If I disable squid the page loads very fast in client browser.

What could be the reason? Do I need to tweak any configuration for this? The first page request always loads slow with Squid.
