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.

Please try the test with your squid on, then again with your squid off. and post the results.
Thanks

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.
