Hello all,
I have been using squid for quite some time, and I just installed squid here
at my office on a big dual Xeon Compaq Proliant server. Unfortunately
however, I have been having some severe performance issues. Browsing
through the proxy is SLOW. I have found the following in the log:
CPU Usage: 12.240 seconds = 7.280 user + 4.960 sys
Maximum Resident Size: 0 KB
Page faults with physical i/o: 16388
Memory usage for squid via mallinfo():
total space in arena: 6076 KB
Ordinary blocks: 5971 KB 27 blks
Small blocks: 0 KB 5 blks
Holding blocks: 192 KB 1 blks
Free Small blocks: 0 KB
Free Ordinary blocks: 104 KB
Total in use: 6163 KB 101%
Total free: 104 KB 2%
Should I be concerned with the Total Free, the Total in use, or the Total
space in arena data fields? How could I adjust that to better suite my
configuration?
The install of squid is very basic. I installed from source
(squid-2.5.STABLE5) and the only additions that I made to the default config
were the following:
httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_with_proxy on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
cache_effective_user squid
cache_effective_group squid
acl our_networks src 192.168.0.0/24
http_access allow our_networks
Can anyone shed any light on this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Ryan Hatch
