[squid-users] Slow internet access performance

HI,
Just want to find out , whether anyone out there has
SQUID proxy and Trend Micro's Interscan WEb security
Suite (http antivirus gateway) configured in your
internet infrastructure.

To enable any traffic that requires to go out to the
net, I have put this setting at the squid.conf.
 Cache_peer 192.168.5.6 parent 8080 0 no_query default
 Never_direct allow all

where 192.168.5.6 is the http antivirus server. it is
supposed to perform scanning for any incoming http
traffic.
My problem of slow performance started after putting
abt 500 users into SQUID. Just want to find out
whether the above setting of cache_peer, will force
all connection from SQUID to the http antivirus, no
matter whether the data requested has been cached at
SQUID or not. If it is true, how do I change the
setting to minimise connection to the http antivirus?

The infra is like this User's PC --> SQUID Proxy-->
IWSS--> Internet.

Please help...Thank you.
