I am running RH6.0 and 2.3devel3. I have two machines setup as siblings.
Both are K6-300 w/128m and 13G hard drive.I am noticing a VERY large amount
of page faults. I read in the Squid FAQ's that the ratio of http requests to
page faults should be between 0.0 and 0.1 for best performance but my ratios
hover around 0.35 or more. I have cache_mem set to 24m and cache_swap_low
set to 60. What else can I do to improve performance? I can see a noticeable
latency under heavy load.
