Squid is still the bottleneck if it is sending only 4KB each I/O cycle to the client - no matter how much is already received by Squid, or stuck in kernel queues waiting to arrive to Squid. The more heavily loaded the proxy is the longer each I/O cycle gets as all clients get one slice of the cycle to do whatever processing they need done. The buffers limited by HTTP_REQBUF_SZ are not dynamic so its not just a minimum. Nathan found a 300% speed increase from a 3x buffer size increase. Which is barely noticable (but still present) on small responses, but very noticable with large transactions.
