[squid-users] Squid very slow

Hi...

I'm using squid 2.5stable9 in acceleration (reverse) mode, with
authentication.

Authentication is only for external users (acl), local users
(192.168.X.X) goes direclty.

The problem is: squid is verry slow....
is i try to access apache direct on port 81, it's very veryy veryyyy
fast....but by squid, they make some seconds (sometimes 1~2~3~more
seconds) to load a simple page.

It's not a traffic or network problem, since my server don't have access
(until now) and accessing apache directly it's very fast.

what could be?

my config:

visible_hostname rio
hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ?
acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?

auth_param basic program /usr/local/bin/authpop.py
auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic realm Intranet - Ribeirao Preto
auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours
