Configuration tips for Squid 1.1.15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi there..

I've been playing with Squid for a little while now (from 1.1.0
onwards), but have only recently
had the pleasure of having a dedicated platform to install it on.

I have a 433Mhz Alpha with 256 Mb memory, and around 13Gb of ultra-
wide SCSI storage on a
separate F/W SCSI controller.

I've compiled Squid with GCC and dmalloc, with the following Makefile
defines
HOST_OPT = # -DCACHEMGR_HOSTNAME="getfullhostname()"
AUTH_OPT = # -DUSE_PROXY_AUTH=1
LOG_HDRS_OPT = # -DLOG_FULL_HEADERS=1
ICMP_OPT = -DUSE_ICMP=1
DELAY_HACK = # -DDELAY_HACK=1
USERAGENT_OPT = # -DUSE_USERAGENT_LOG=1
KILL_PARENT_OPT = # -DKILL_PARENT_OPT
USE_POLL_OPT = # -DUSE_POLL
# do NOT define both USE_SPLAY_TREE and USE_BIN_TREE at the same
time!
USE_SPLAY_TREE = -DUSE_SPLAY_TREE
USE_BIN_TREE = # -DUSE_BIN_TREE
RELOAD_INTO_IMS = -DRELOAD_INTO_IMS

I want to know: Is there a better configuration to make the cache
perform better?
There are about 150-200 domains in the local_domain configuration,
and we have a reasonable amount
of traffic per day (ie recent peak of up to 543000 hits/day)
