Re: [squid-users] Squid 2/3 slower than direct access

Thanks for the tips.
 
AFAIK the hardware Raid is fine - all disks running OK.
 
I am running Webmin & Systats on the server. CPU load is minimal so the box doesn't seem to be overworked but response is slow. I will check the DNS setup as you suggest.
 
Thanks,
 
Greg.
