RE: [squid-users] squid slow --- don't know why

Joseph,

I have never used delay pools, but I did incorporate HTTPd_accel into my
squid, which helped my speed. I do not host a web server, but it seemed to
help. I'm assuming you are using a transparent proxy.

Try adding the following lines to your squid.conf, then restart squid.

# HTTP_ACCEL options
httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_with_proxy on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on

See if that helps.

Also, I don't see a "cache_effective_user or cache_effective_group"
directive. Not sure if this is necessary, but when troubleshooting I find
it's best not to leave any option out, no matter how insignificant it may
seem.

My squid.conf file is below. I also commented out the delay pool lines
and restarted squid to see what kind of speeds I got. They were faster
than with the delay pools, but still slower than without the proxy all
together. The speeds were around the 315 Kbps. Much better than 16Kbps:)

If the delay pools are in fact my problem I guess I don't know how to
set them up. I just want to slow everyone down who downloads files
bigger than 2Mb. But I do not want to slow everything down.
