Re: [squid-users] speeding up response

You're figuring wrong. ;-)

Squid does not wait until an object is fully cached before beginning to
send it to the client, and it also has no conception of a "web page".
It fetches what the browser asks it to, when it asks it to. Is this
behavior specific to one particular page and/or browser?

Did you check to be sure DNS resolution is fast using the cache manager
as I suggested? (This may not be the problem you're seeing, but it is
the first thing to check.)
