[squid-users] Performance Problem after Upgrading from 2.4.STABLE7 to 2.5.STABLE2

we want to update our squid-proxies.
we have squid 2.4.STABLE6/7 running under hp-ux and linux on several
servers as a proxy hierachy. we now want to update to 2.5.STABLE2 - one
main reason are the corrupt downloads, that have been fixed in
2.5.STABLE1.

so we have compiled 2.5.STABLE2 modified the squid.conf. now we have the
problem, that the performance on our production system is very bad.
as long as only 1 user is accessing squid, performance is/seems ok.
this server is running under hp-ux 11.0

when all our users are accessing squid the performance is very poor.
tried to change store-method from aufs to ufs and even to null - no
change. responsetimes are very long, request times in access_log are >
1000 ms, even when accessing webservers, that are located in our
intranet. cpu usage raises very fast to >90%.

squid 2.4 is running without any probs on that machine - only problem
are the corrupted downloads that sometimes occur...

any ideas what to check and change?
