Re: squid performance VERY poor under load----help

You might just be running into the limits of what your Squid and system
will handle.

How many disks are you using for cache?

Are you using an async i/o compile (2.2.STABLE5+hno, of course)?

I think that's about the performance one can expect from a ~500MHz
machine running non-async with ~2 drives. Is your box going into Swap
memory at all? That will kill performance faster than anything I know.

With an async compile of 2.2.STABLE5+hno you can handle a T1 from a
single 7200 RPM IDE disk and 450MHz processor. But with a non-threaded
compile, you'll probably top out somewhere below a T1.

Just some thoughts.
