[squid-users] Newbie

Hi list-
My name is Cassio and I'm a brazilian stundent. I'm new on
this list and I'd like to get your help. I'm trying to fix a problem
on a Linux machine using Squid as proxy: when the service (squid)
is On, the user defined in cache_effective_user nobody uses 90%
of CPU/MEM and appears several times in the processes list.
It makes the internet connection be very slow. The machine was
working great until last week. It's a Celeron 333Mhz with 32Mb RAM.
My version of Linux is 2.2.6 and Squid 2.2.STABLE4
for i686-pc-linux-GNU. In fact, when I start Squid, I get the message:
"Squid[100]: Squid Parent: child process 101 started"
However, if I execute the TOP command, I can see a lot of child processes:
101, 102, 103, 104, ... - all of them named NOBODY and consumig (each one)
80-90% of CPU/MEM. The Squid is started normally at INITTAB:
"squi:12345:respawn:/usr/local/squid/bin/squid -N"
Any help to me ? Thanx in advance !
Cassio
