Topic: SQUID performance problem !

[Giedrius]

Hello,

I testing SQUID server on  SME 5.1.2 and SME 5.5 and found SQUID performance problem on 5.5 !!!

Connecting time to the same web page are diferent at the same time, from 2 identical servers (IBM 1Ghz 256Mb). SME 5.1.2 is faster that 5.5 about 1-10 s/page

Whats wrong ???

How long has the 5.5 server been operational ?

If it is a newly built server, it's squid cache and dns cache will be very small, so very little performace increase will be seen.

How many users are there ? - It may be worthwhile increasing the number of squid child processes.

I think that 5.1.2 was optional to use squid.
5.5 uses squid in transparent mode ( ie even if no settings in IE/Netscape, it will still route traffic for port 80 via squid. )
