Tuning squid?

Hello!

We are having some problems with throughput in one of our squids
which serve a couple of thousands of users. This squid hasn't been
upgraded for a while, this will be my first step.

But I'm wondering if there are any good general tips for tuning
squid performance. Particularly if there are any good things to
change in squid.conf, I'm not very familiar with this file.

I have read the parts on performance in the users guide on the
web. We have 64 MB RAM in the server and diskswap on the server
is almost never used. cache_swap in squid.conf is 500.

Please respond to me via mail, I don't seem to be on this list yet.

Thanks for your time!
