[squid-users] Squid causing latency

Hi,
I have a 512k link and have noticed for a while some latency occuring.
After searching and testing I found that when I shutdown squid the latency
goes away.
Squid seems to be using the whole 512k in bursts (see ping stats below)
Why is this happening and how do i control it?
Can i restrict the amount of bandwith used?
Regards
