[squid-users] Latency

I just wanted to know if having a big list banned site on =
"/etc/squid/banned_site" will actually contribute to internet sluggish =
or network latency. I have a top result with

  PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
 9548 nobody 15 0 271M 271M 1304 R 0.7 35.9 0:10 squid

I have a swap with a 999999K used, and i have a Pentium 4, memory of =
750MB with 40GB of SCSI harddisk and a 1gb ethernet.
