My squid.conf file is below. I also commented out the delay pool lines and restarted squid to see what kind of speeds I got. They were faster than with the delay pools, but still slower than without the proxy all together. The speeds were around the 315 Kbps. Much better than 16Kbps:)

If the delay pools are in fact my problem I guess I don't know how to set them up. I just want to slow everyone down who downloads files bigger than 2Mb. But I do not want to slow everything down.

As you can see, with squid configuration, there should not be a slowdown to
your Internet access. Yours is quite drastic. There might be a configuration
problem: could you please post your squid.conf file? Use this command:
grep "^[a-z]" squid.conf > squid.conf.org
to remove comments.

Wow! I didn't know it was that bad. I ran each test twice. I didn't know if you wantted all the stats, or just the speeds. Below are the speeds:

Without the proxy -
482 Kbits (I have a T1, I was shocked.  But that's not a squid issue)
499 Kbits

With the proxy -
98 Kbits
16 Kbits

I kept an eye on top while doing the tests with the proxy set, and squid
did not take anymore than 2% of the CPU.  The load average is 0.04 right
now.

Anything else?

Hi Joseph

Here is an interesting link that a list member posted a while back with

the

same problem. This is a link to a website where you can do speed tests.

http://www.numion.com/yourspeed/

Please try the test with your squid on, then again with your squid off.

and

post the results.

Thanks

Subject: [squid-users] squid slow --- don't know why


Hello List,

I am new to this list and new to squid.  I am having some trouble with
my proxy (squid) running really slow.  I have searched the Internet and
I have also looked in the archives of this list.  I found that some
threads in the archives suggest not enough memory and squid having to
use swap.  I've also found some treads on dns quieries slowing things
down.  I don't think either of these are reasons why my squid is running
slow.

Here are some details:

Computer Specs:
---------------
- dual 400Mhz CPU
- 1 G RAM
- 31G SCSI hard drive
- running debian linux (sarge)

When I ps -aux and look at how much memory squid is using it only uses
about 32M.  It looks as though I have plenty of memory.  I installed a
caching-only version of bind, and everything seems to be resolving fast.

If I browse the Internet without the proxy everything goes really fast
(T1 connection).  Once I have my browser use the proxy though, it still
works, but really slow 5-30 sec/page.

Oh, one more detail.  I have squid setup to authenticate via ldap_auth.

Below is my cache.log file.  I do not know what else you might need me
to give you to help me, so if there is something else please let me know.
