Hey, that isn't your fault. It just means I occasionally seem to
misfile emails. Anyway..

Well, I'm all for cacheboy testing (as its mostly Squid-2.HEAD testing
too!) but I'd be very surprised right now if there was a measurable
performance difference between Squid-2.6/Squid-2.7 and Cacheboy in
your environment.

What metrics are you using for "more performance" ?

Well, its worth ruling out authentication as a contributing factor.
NTLM authentication using Samba isn't the fastest of things..

At the present time? Mostly subjective. Cacheboy is "adrian's idea of
where Squid-2 should've gone and should be going" ; the best way to
compare Squid-(2, 3) and Cacheboy is to look at the developers, the
development, the roadmap, and see which suits you better.

There's no real performance or functionality reason to move over to
Cacheboy but I won't say no to more users. I'd like the
positive/negative feedback :)
