Thanks for answering. I am running web-polygraph benchmarks on the squid server. What I understand is that at the beginning, until the data fill up the cache_mem memory, there is a better performance. This lasts less than one minute.
What I would like to know is what kind of data the cache_mem holds. What algorithm determines the data to be stored and the data that will leave the cache_mem area? cheers, Mihalis. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Henrik Nordstrom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mihalis Tsoukalos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 1:00 PM Subject: Re: [squid-users] cache_mem > m�n 2003-02-24 klockan 09.02 skrev Mihalis Tsoukalos: > > Hello to everyone. > > > > I am doing some benchmarking and I want to ask something: > > > > I am putting the following values in the cache_mem parameter of squid.conf: > > 1. 8 MB > > 2. 32 MB > > 3. 64 MB > > 4. 128 MB > > > > but I don't see any real difference in the benchmarking results. > > What kind of benchmarks are you running? > > Changing this only have significant impacts on very specific workloads.. > > For most normal proxy setups a value around 8-16MB is fine. > > -- > Henrik Nordstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > MARA Systems AB, Sweden
