I can give you some tuning suggestions, but not a specific number. > RAM - 900 MByte > HDD - 16 GByte > Swap Partition - 1G > cache_dir diskd /var/cache/squid/ 15360 16 256 Q1=72 Q2=64 As has already been suggested, make your cache 80% of the drive size. Also, switch to aufs, since you're on Linux and using a single drive - you'll get better performance. You'll also want to up the L1 setting (16). Per the archive, the default is good up to a cache of 6.5 GB. I'd recommend setting the L1 value to 40 or 48. Beyond that, check to see if your Squid process becomes I/O bound (use iostat/vmstat/procinfo). If so, one thing you can try is reducing the cache size and upping the cache_mem setting. This may reduce disk usage, at a cost of cache hits. Adam --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
