Re: [squid-users] --> Squid, SquidGuard and selective filtering

Henrik,

For people who're not used to work with Squid, the ACL's of Squid can be
very tricky. That's such a external programs can help for them.
Regarding performance: Like you said: if you 're using SMP system an
external program can 'improve' the performance if you have a lot of
acl's. Not on UP systems, I agree.

But I don't think most users of those external programs use this for the
performance, but just because it's sometimes easier to use.
At least, that's what I think.
(I'm also using a lot of ACL's, but I'm using -of course - the squid acl's)
