RE: [squid-users] Cache Slowness

Ricardo,

Try adding another disk and more memory. Try using async UFS instead of the
plain UFS. Try also reading this document for optimizing your Squid
configuration:

Subject: [squid-users] Cache Slowness

Hi All,

The cache of my university that I work for gets slow if i have more
than 200 active connections on it, its running in transparent mode
using wccp v1 with a cisco router 4500 series. I think that the server
is capable of handling more request.

I'm using squid 2.5 stable 4 and my server is a Dell PowerEdge Server:
- Pentium Xeon 2.0 GHz
- 512 Mb
- Two 32 Gb SCSI Hard Disk Drives
- Using Mandrake Linux 9.1 as operating system
- Cache_mem 96mb
- Using ufs and one hard disk only for cache( 10gb of it )

Does anyone have an idea to solve this slowness?
Thanks in advance,
