Hi, Around every hour or so, the Squid proxy client experience comes to a crawl. It takes a very long time to load a simple web page.

I guess the reason could be for this: Maximum number of file descriptors: 4096 Largest file desc currently in use: 4009 Number of file desc currently in use: 3997
Yes, that looks like it.
However, I set the following directive in squid.conf: max_filedescriptors 65536
Are you using systemd, SysV or another init ? systemd default limits has this as a known issue for initial startup.
It doesn't seem to be honored here unless I stop and restart the squid service again (/etc/init.d/squid restart from command line): File descriptor usage for squid: Maximum number of file descriptors: 65535 It seems that if I run the same command (/etc/init.d/squid restart) from crontab, that ulimit is not honored. I guess that's the root cause of my issue because I am asking cron to restart Squid once daily. I'll try not to, but I was hoping to see if there was a reliable way to fully restart the Squid process. Vieri
The init system restart command is the preferred one - it handles any system details that need updating. Alternatively, "squid -k restart" can be used.
