Which 3.5 release exactly?


Any hint about what its doing with all those cycles?
 cache.log might have something.

In 3.5 move the manager stuff down below the CONNECT line...

... here. It is a small bit faster that way.

Obsolete 3.1 hack for client-first SSL-Bump. Remove.

> ssl_bump server-first all

Deprecated bumping rules. Please update this to the 3.5 feature syntax.

IIRC, the 3.5 equivalent of the above line is:
 ssl_bump stare all
 ssl_bump bump all

Since rock cache also breaks objects down into chunks of ~32KB it is
inefficient for large MB (or GB) sized objects. That is not going to do
much good for CPU performance.

So 50+ MB of buffer per client connection.

 How many connections per second does your proxy service?
 How many of those are concurrent after this "1 hour" ?

  200 clients x 50 MB buffer => up to 10 GB of buffered data.
 Easily more than the ~3 GB RAM this machine might have spare.
 And thats assuming just one connection per client, usually browser
clients have 8-100 connections open at a time.
 There is a good reason the default 'gap' is set to 64KB :-)


If Squid starts to use swap memory performance does down the drain,
really, really badly.

Ah, you know that 30 means *minutes* right?

So the health checker will have a 30min delay between identifying
problems. Or counterwise, a 30min delay before identiying problems resolved.

You seem to be trying to cache video and multimedia objects in a
default/small RAM cache and a rock cache.

rock cache type is optimized for use caching very small objects in the
order of KB at most. While it can store larger ones now, that is quite
inefficient use of the rock cache design.

UFS/AUFS/diskd are the cache types to use for large MB/GB sized objects.

Re-defining the built-in "squid" format does not do what you expect, and
is yet another drain on the CPU.
