Thanks.

I have set my ntlm auth children to 50, basic auth children to 30 and
squidGuard children to 30. As I see my CPU usage is under 0.09 and RAM
is 1.2GB free outta 4GB.

I also set these directives in squid.conf

logformat agentTokens %{Proxy-Authentication}>h "%{User-Agent}>h"
acl failedAuth http_status 407
access_log /var/log/squid3/access.log squid
access_log /var/log/squid3/access.log agentTokens failedAuth

but I dont see any user-agent info in cache.log (I know im doing
something wrong here, pls correct me)

Cheers
