[squid-users] SQUID SLOWING DOWN with no reason - help needed

System: FreeBSD 6.0 / amd64
squid version 2.5.12 installed from prebuild port.

squid never uses more than 10% CPU on my configuration

IPC config:

kern.ipc.msgseg=16384
kern.ipc.msgssz=256
kern.ipc.msgtql=2048
kern.ipc.msgmnb=8192
kern.ipc.msgmni=100
kern.ipc.msgmax=8192

(more than enough i think)

configured to use diskd with 70GB space.

ulimit reports >10000 files opne allowed.

effects:

squid works fine for hours, but at some moment start (without any
messages) to slow down terribly.

i tested with telnet squid_IP 3128

connects in moment, while it takes minutes to answer any question,
including nonsense like "aaa" instead of GET something.
CPU load is like 1-2%.

shutting down and up solves the problem.

where should i check?

i sent no configs data etc. to not pollute this list. please answer what
is needed.

thank you
