Re: [squid-users] My squid is becoming tooo slow

i am using a 56K dialup connection. i've tried the parameters u
gave(>quick_abort_min 0 KB quick_abort_max 0 KB
half_closed_clients off. )
i am using all the default configuration in squid.conf
i've pasted last few lines of access.log file below.
pls note that, i've tried to tweak all the parameters like
cache_mem, cache_dir etc....
still it is becoming very slow. its taking long time to post
anything. when i click any link it takes around 1 min to get a
reply even if that site has been viewd many times. images r
loading fast from the cache,if they have been seen already.
