[squid-users] Squid transparent mode slow down clients

Hi folks,
I have a little bandwidth problem. My customer's network is simple like
this: internet ---> squid 2.6 StabLe 5 (trasparent mode) ----> lan
172.16.0.0/16

Now, the problem is that when I redirect the 80 port to 8080 (squid) all
the clients' connection slow down (from 250 Kbyte/s to 20/30 kbyte/s),
and when I disable the iptables rule all returns fast.

How can I solve this?

Squid.conf

http_port 8080 transparent
icp_port 0
htcp_port 0
cache_access_log /var/log/squid/access.log
cache_log /var/log/squid/cache.log
cache_store_log /var/log/squid/store.log
emulate_httpd_log on
mime_table /etc/squid/mime.conf
pid_filename /var/run/squid.pid
dns_nameservers 213.140.2.12 208.67.222.222 193.205.245.66
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
http_access allow all

iptables rules

$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -s 172.16.0.0/16 -j
REDIRECT --to-port 8080
$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 172.16.0.0/16 -j SNAT --to-source
192.168.1.2

Thank you in advance
Matteo
