I did reinstalled [squid 3.0] and I set 'squid.conf' as below.

o visible_hostname localhost
o http_access allow locahost
o http_port 3128
o cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid/cache 100 16 256 (as default)

but still the squid makes web-browser slower and slower. at the end,
web-browser has timeout. I can't use internet.

I don't know why~~


That config is trivial. It sounds like you have either hit some memory 
leak or something else on the box is consuming enough memory to make 
Squid swap.

 My squid-cache is squid-3.0.STABLE25-1.el5 and the OS is the RedHat
 5-64bit.

 I installed squid and set up 'squid.conf' file as below.

 o visible_hostname localhost
 o http_port 3128
 o cache_dir ufs /web-cache/cache1 10 16 256
    cache_dir ufs /web-cache/cache2 10 16 256

 300GB of cache. I hope you have well over 4GB of RAM on that box dedicated
 to Squid. ~3GB of it will be sucked up by the disk index.

 Add cache_mem on top of that, add another 10% of cache_mem for the index of
 that space, and then add about 64KB for you maximum peak client count.


 o access_log /log/squid/access.log squid
 o cache_log /log/squid/cache.log
 o store_log /log/squid/store.log

 You can drop store log under normal use, its not that useful unless
 debugging the storage:
  cache_store_log none

 o logfile_rotate 9 ( and /etc/logrotate.d/squid file has been reviesed.)

 By reviesed I hope you mean erased. logrotate.d and squid internal log
 rotation do not work well together. Pick one.

 o shutdown_lifetime 1 seconds

 Large cache + extremely short shutdown period = cache corruption.
 Squid will handle it by doing a full scan of the entire disk space on
 startup to reload all the meta data from scratch. This is a period of slow
 proxy speed while it dedicates CPU cycles for the scan.
  When your 300GB of cache is full this will likely take somewhere between 4
 and 10 hours to complete.


 Things to check:
  * memory usage is not swapping. This will cause squid to significantly drop
 in speed.
  * check for crashes or other problems in cache.log. Note the 4-10 hour
 recovery time loading the index after each crash will be a slow period.

 On top of that 3.0 is obsolete for nrearly a year now. There are a number of
 fatal bugs and leaks which are resolved in later releases.
  Some newer packages can be found linked from
 http://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/RedHat. These still have some of
 the leaks only recently fixed but should be better than 3.0 on bugs.

Please help me ASAP!!
