Hi Chris,

NO, the situation is very simple: not matter content of page. Even if
www.google.com is accesed, it take more then 20-30s to load/display it
correctly. Without squid, www.google.com is loaded instantly!

If matter, i am using pam_mysql plugin to autenticate users via mysql
database. All our squid users are virtuals (no one shell account).

Saturday (not a working day) on 24th i tested squid again arround 15 PM. The
speed seems to be good!!!!
