Re: [squid-users] Why squidguard or another redirektor???

You should not make overly large regex pattern lists. If you are
making long lists then you SHOULD investigate using dstdomain or dst
type ACLs where appropriate. Makes a huge difference in access
control performance.

A really long url_regex acl really can slow things down, and can get
quite unpredictable to maintain (a small typo in a regex pattern can
change the meaning significantly)

A really long dstdomain or dst acl should barely be noticeable in
terms of performance, and are generally much easier to maintain.
