[squid-users] Queue Congestion

Second query today - I hope this won't be a habit. ;-)

When I put squid 2.5STABLE1 (on Solaris 7, Sun E220R, two 450MHZ CPUz)
using async I/O into production, I noticed that I occasionally got the
following message:

2002/10/29 08:30:21| squidaio_queue_request: WARNING - Queue congestion
2002/10/29 08:58:31| squidaio_queue_request: WARNING - Queue congestion
2002/10/29 09:30:37| squidaio_queue_request: WARNING - Queue congestion
2002/10/29 10:50:28| squidaio_queue_request: WARNING - Queue congestion

I assumed that it was due to a lack of threads, so last night I
increased the number from 128 to 160, but as you can see above this has
made no difference.

The cache is still building being somewhere around 530MB (of a total of
5GB available.) there does not appear to be any I/O congestion, however
I am running on a single UFS partition. The disk involved (a Sun 18GB)
doesn't have any other significant use (only /export/home and some
archives of old software.)

Does anyone have a clue as to what other resource either in squid or in
Solaris that I need to increase (if at all) to rid myself of this
troublesome priest. :-)
