[squid-users] Squid performance in the tank.

I don't know that I've ever had occasion to ask the squid group anything before but this one thing has me stumped. We just moved our infrastructure from one facility to another and our squid servers' performance has really gone down the tubes. Request processes have slowed to a crawl. Admittedly, we have made some changes to the routing of external requests (as we are no longer in a flat network) but all the systems in that same IP network have no trouble at all getting to the outside world.

When squid receives a page request, it just seems to sit on it for a few seconds before doing anything with it and the end user doesn't see any activity from squid for a minute or longer. This was a perfectly functioning squid setup prior to our move. The only thing that has changed is the path it takes to get to the Internet. How should I go about finding out if it is squid with the problem or if it just something boneheaded I've done somewhere else?
