RE: [squid-users] Slow Squid

To benchmark squid I do the following.

Run several speed tests at http://www.numion.com/yourspeed from as many
different computers on the network as possible.

Then, turn off squid (and modify your firewall to not use squid) and run the
tests again.

Do this a few times and it should give you an idea of the average speed
with/without squid.

170GB ? Over How many drives?
What's your Maximum_object_size?

Is there a way to benchmark squid?
