Hi Robert,

This box seems to be running something a little MORE than squid -
could this be a firewall perhaps?

The huge number of interrupts then seem ok for this sort of a setup -
How many Megabits/ second are you pushing through this box?!

Sorry to be a pain - I have more quesions...

Is this box really an Intel box, or does it have Opterons installed?
(hostname name = sunfire)

what does
    mpstat -P ALL 5
output ?

I can believe that you are having problems, but I think that we are
interpreting the
output from top correctly. mpstat should show this, as we will see
whether one proc
is at 100%.

Is the latency on sites in the cache? or 'new' sites?
Could this be a DNS issue? Are you running a pair of caching DNS
servers on site?
or are they based at an ISP?

Are you running as a 'transperant' proxy? or have the users entered
the proxy details per
hand or per proxy.pak.... ?

I would probably run aufs rather than diskd - but this should not
make a real difference..
You have also only configured 3Gs of cache (3x 1G)...
You may want to try disabling the disk cache altogether and see how
that works - you need to
compile with -enable-storeio=diskd,aufs,null

I would also increase my cache size to perhaps, 2G.. (How much RAM
does the machine have?)

Sorry that I am not of more help,

Cheers

Andrew
