Re: Squid is becoming slow with 3000 ACL's ...

Hi,

Recent version of squid should store ACLs in SplayTree which will make
search time far better than linear. I think in older squid you have to
enable it with

./configure --enable-splaytree

not sure about 1.1.x though, maybe you have to edit src/Makefile and
uncomment something..
