Hello all, been awhile since I've been on the list. Have a problem with the new blocking file I'm working on. New file is 12MB and contains 480,000+ sites to block. When I load this the server grinds to a halt and processor usage shoots through the roof. Anybody running a similar setup with large files for blocking? How's the performance?
My specs
850Mhz Celeron
512 MBRam
2 40Gig drives
6GB cache
Thanks Jason
the larger the blocking file, the higher the CPU usage: Each request to Squid has to parse this file, resulting in high CPU usage; I suggest you employ generic words instead of maintaining hundreds of thousands of sites!! Using generic words when possible shall result in lower CPU usage.
