Re: [squid-users] why it works so SLOW ???

Ok, have you tried the following to see if you can repeat the problem:

1) Use a newer version of Squid. If you're compiling from source get the
latest stable build.
2) Use a default install of Squid and use the default squid.conf options
except for changing things like cache_dir, IP, ICP port etc. Leave
everything at default, get it working and then start to 'play'. Things like
cache_dir folders may be best left at the default until things are going.
I'd think the default settings in squid.conf are there for a reason. Only
change them if you know exactly why you are changing them.
Don't alter ./configure options until a default compile works fine for you.
3) Do you get the same slowness if you use a different browser?
4) Are you browsing from the server running squid or are you browsing from a
LAN client?
5) What OS are you running Squid on?

nry
