Re: [squid-users] Help with SQUID

Well, my 2c worth...

Your proccessor is maxed out if thats an average rate.
Your memory aswell, it should all be wired, but not 507Meg used.

Bare in mind you have about 70hits pers second, which is fairly high.
How much memory is squid allowed to take up? Consider setting it fairly
low so the machine can still handle the load, it can swap from disk
to memory if needed. Only allow small objects into memory cache.

I'd say your close to the max.
You'll start losing quality of service, also, a large amount of it depends
on
how you've set your system up.

Consider upping the proccessor and the memory.
Anyone disagree or have any other suggestions?
