it depends on the machine...
to make sure that the 3000 rules loading is the problem you can run the
squid server on a verbose mode to see how long it takes to load the rules.
from what i have seen the stop process depends less on the amount of
rules but on the amount of connections used on this server.

Hi list.
We would like to know whats the best practice when we have more than 3000 rules
on our squid. Right now squid takes more than 15 minutes to start or restart,
we think that's because we have a lot of rules.
The question is:
If we change all that rules to a text file, squid will start faster?
Right now we are not able to add rules or change it, we need to wait until
lunch time to apply changes.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Saludos.
Alfonso
