This option controls whether Squid is allowed to merge multiple potentially cachable requests for the same URI before Squid knows whether the response is going to be cachable. This feature is disabled by default: Enabling collapsed forwarding needlessly delays forwarding requests that look cachable (when they are collapsed) but then need to be forwarded individually anyway because they end up being for uncachable content. However, in some cases, such as accelleration of highly cachable content with periodic or groupped expiration times, the gains from collapsing [large volumes of simultenous refresh requests] outweigh losses from such delays. |
