[Im repeating this question because I havent receive help]

Hallo everyone,

My problem:
I use squid to access WWW. But when I try to get to any page than I have to wait about 20 second or more till anything appear in my browser ( Opera 7.21 ).
I have no idea why its like that. When I turn off squid and set browser not to use proxy then any page I request load immediately.

If anyone would help me to resolve this problem then I ll be in debt
forever.

This is my squid version

Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE2

and this is options that I used to configure and compile

configure options: --prefix=/proxy/usr --exec-prefix=/proxy/usr --enable-delay-pools --enable-cache-digests --enable-poll --disable-ident-lookups
--enable-truncate --enable-removal-policies --enable-err-language=Polish

and this is my squid.conf
