RE: [squid-users] Extremely high 'Median response time' warnings

It's my only instance of squid - it's running on my main Linux gateway. It
occasionally occurs during the day - on July 6, for instance, it gave this
error message 340 times, all through the day.

But on the 7th, I got 40 of them, stopping at 6:19 AM. The 8th, 17,
stopping at 5:13. The 9th, 10th, 11th - 23 total, none during the normal
working day.

Then yesterday - 140, all through the day.

It's almost like it tosses the error only when there's nobody here accessing
the Net - as if there's no traffic, so the response time goes huge.
Weekends, early mornings, and evenings, they show up. Monday through
Friday, 9 to 5 - no entries.
