[squid-users] Squid performance problem.

Hi,
I am running squid-2.5.STABLE4 on Linux 8.0 box.
Server is Intel P4, 256 DDR, 40 GB IDE Hard drive.
Everything works fine in initial stages. No error in
cache.log file. No problem with access.log file.
Cache works fine.
Facing two problem. Don't know what is the cause.

1) As cache size increases (About 100 MB) Internet
access speed slows down.
2) Also I am using only delay pool to limit bandwidth
of IP in acl "STOP" during "day" time to 3 Kbps as
follows :

acl STOP src 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.25 192.168.0.176
acl day time 09:00-22:30

delay_pools 1
delay_class 1 1
delay_access 1 allow STOP day
delay_parameters 1 3000/3000

After "squid -k reconfigure" no error.

This could not restrict bandwidth to 3 Kbps.
Attaching squid.conf and cache.log file for reference.

help appreciatd.
