Re: [squid-users] mime-type based delay pools

The first thing I'd do before looking at delay pools is to grab
a few days of logfiles, pass them through calamaris or something
similar and generate some traffic reports.

If youtube is a big bandwidth hog then you may benefit from some
of my work to make Squid cache youtube.
