Hello everyone,
Im totaly disappointed with Squid. I use it as proxy server for
http,https,ftp traffic.
The problem is with speed. I waiting about 20 seconds untill any
thing can be displayed on browser. There is no problem when I turn off
squid and set iptables to forward - then sites load in about 2-3
seconds. ( There is no problem with download - about 50 - 60 kbps )

Since last week I reinstalled it 3 times. Currently I use lates stable
version
Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE4
with 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 have still this same problem...

there is a cache.log:

Some details:

Squid is installed on PIII 700 Mhz, 256 MB RAM, HDD 20 Gb connected to
inet on eth0 ( aDSL 512) and local net is on eth1.

OS: Linux Slackware 8.1

There is only 1 partition and it is formatted as ext2 ( maybe this is
a reason ?).

Plz help, I have noe idea what can i do wrong... think i checked
everything.
