Re: [squid-users] Optimize / Performance / Dimensioning of a proxy squid

Thanks Hermann,

If I apply this configuration, I understood well?

1 Cache of 4 Go on a disc SCSI and 1 Cache of 4 Go on another disc SCSI
512 Mb of memory
And the parameter cache_mem in the squid.conf with 256 Mb
Pentium 1,4 Ghz

Thanks,
Gilles
