Have a look in your access.log to see what's happening to the requests. Are
you maybe trying your parent and timing out for some reason, or what? If you
are unsure, post an excerpt of access.log containing requests that were
slow, and someone hear might be able to suggest something.

The default settings are not very good, try the following for refresh_pattern:

refresh_pattern/i \.gif$ 30 80% 43200
refresh_pattern/i \.jpg$ 30 80% 43200
refresh_pattern ^http:// 30 40% 20160
refresh_pattern ^ftp:// 30 50% 20160
refresh_pattern ^gopher:// 30 40% 20160
refresh_pattern . 30 40% 20160

These are quite generous indeed, but experience shows it doesn't seem too
bad, any my cache stays full, and not very out of date.

Also make sure neighbor_timeout isn't too big (try it at the default value
of 2 to start off with). Make sure ident_lookup is off, and you aren't using
a redirector. Are there any other settings you've changed?
