Good memory. Slightly slow CPUs by today standards. What about disks?

Not good if you can get diskd or aufs running.. > squid never seems to use more than 10m of RAM. then it probably haven't cached much yet. > Perhaps I need to recompile with another MALLOC? Only if you find that Squid uses a whole lot more memory than it should, which does not seem to be the case here.. How much traffic are you trying to push via this Squid? What does system accouting report about disk and cpu usage? (sar is your friend, see the Solaris administration manuals on how to set up sar accounting if you have not done so already) Regards Henrik
