[squid-users] Squid.conf setting queries

I have configured squid.conf as follows but I can not
see any performance difference. Can you guid whether
squid.conf is correct. If so what may be problem?
Here is my squid.conf file.

the original squid.conf file

#We have two different delay_pools
#View Squid documentation to get familiar

delay_pools 2

#First delay pool
#We don't want to delay our local traffic.
#There are three pool classes; here we will deal only
with the second.
#First delay class (1) of second type (2).
delay_class 1 2

#-1/-1 mean that there are no limits.

#The numbers here are values in bytes;
#we must remember that Squid doesn't consider
start/stop bits
#5000/150000 are values for the whole network
#5000/120000 are values for the single IP
#after downloaded files exceed about 150000 bytes,
#(or even twice or three times as much)
#they will continue to download at about 5000 bytes/s

####################################
I have saved file. Then run command
[root@abc root]# /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid
2003/08/01 18:37:30| Squid is already running!
Process ID 7021

No error.So O.K.
But these restrictions are not working at all. User
can still access to kazza. Also not much performance
improvemnt is seen. Is there anything wrong in
configuration file.

Thanks.
