We can parse and make filter rules with flat file manner ( squid configuration file parsing ) and database oriented parsing and make filter rules ( squidguard ). Is it correct? what is the difference between these? Is there any performance, time rate and difference factors between them?
It depends very much on what kind of acls you are using. This is true for both Squid and SquidGuard.
What can be said about performance is that regex lists is bad and that redirectors (such as SquidGuard) is seriously penalized by the redirector interface of Squid making them unfeasible in larger setups, at least until Squid-3.0 is released and the redirectors have been adapted to the new interface available there.
