Hi Adam, I am not comparing the performance BorderManager with squid. I am building squid on a new HP ML530 with 2 x3.0GHz Xeon processor with 6x36 GB of HD. The BorderManager is running on an old server. I am accessing the pages not from cache.
Only couple of users in squid proxy. I used top and the system was not bottlenecking.

Are you comparing the performance of a BorderManager proxy that has been used for some time (and probably has a good-sized cache) with a new Squid proxy (without any cache)? Are both of these proxies on similar hardware? If not, which has faster hardware (particularly disks)? Have you tried using system tools like sar, procinfo, and vmstat to see if your system is bottlenecking anywhere? Adam
