Your second squid.conf file will have to specify a different cache_dir, log files, and pid file, in addition to the port. It's probably better to figure out the root cause of the problem.
What kind of hardware is squid running on? What OS? How does the memory usage look when squid gets slow? How about CPU? What are your definitions of "few users"? How many accesses per second your cache is serving? To give suggestions on improving performance, first we need to know where you are at.

Tried to run multiple instance of squid with: 1) different config file ...squid1.conf 2) Seperate http_port 8081 in squid1.conf and 8080 in squid.conf after running #./squid -f squid1.conf it gives foowing message::: Squid already running! Process id 2383 Any suggestion to improve the squid performance...? Cheer, Rahul Sinha
