Re: [squid-users] Squid choking on large ACL lists--high CPU usage

acl [block_sites,unblock_sites,direct] url_regex -i "textfile"

Squid is being used here to filter web content. I wasn't around when it was
set up & I'm not all that familiar with it yet. I think the block list has
about 1000 entries. We tried to load a much larger list using the same
format (about 40x bigger i think) & CPU usage went to max. USE_BIN_TREE
reconfigure helped a little but not enough. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Adam Maynard
