Sorry, sorry this was an translation mistake. As I am new to the list I thought you asked me if I have tried the other mailing-lists too, but you asked me if I looked to the faqs and tried the advices their too! Of course I have - first for example I checked memory: I have given squid 512Mb RAM. The machine has 1,5Gb RAM, and as squid can use 20GB Cache on the disk(10GB Raid0 on two jfs-formated partitions) this will result to the following formula: (512Mb+(20*10Mb)+20Mb)*2=1464Mb recommended for the machine filedescriptors: Although I have no problem with filedescriptors (nothing in the log-files) I compiled squid with 2048 filedescriptors, and I did all the things with unlimit an so on - but no change. "Squid 2 performs badly on Linux" Of course I know the answer - sorry no change without async-io. I also tried the original squid-rpm coming with redhat - no change ! Perhaps I didn't see something in the faqs what is important to me, because I didn't recognized its value for me? but I have read the faq once, twice, .... hundred times. I read a lot before I desided to write to a mailing-list because as a non native english-speaker it is always much easier for me to read something in english than to write, and if I write, this is always a sign for great despair. As I wrote in my first mail I use an old squid.conf which worked fine with squid2.3Stable7 on Mandrake7.2 (this box had only 1GB RAM) As of internal change in the network, I descided to use an Redhat 8.0 machine for squid now. (Mandrake7.2 -->2.2.20 and therefor no iptables) Now everything works fine as long we don't use IE5.5 or IE6 under windows. (perhaps there is a problem with gcc3.2 - but why will this problem only accure if we use IE?). thanks very much for our answer and the time you spend on it ! leo -- Pinguintauchtiefen: Ad�liepinguine bis zu 240 m (90 % der Zeit allerdings bis zu 90 m) Kaiserpinguine bis zu 535 m K�nigspinguine bis zu 325 m http://www.anjaspinguine.de
