Hi Chris,
I changed as you suggested me:
- cache_replacement_policy from heap LFUDA to heap GDSF.
- announce_period 0 (this was by default too, but cachemanager.cgi report me
that is ON!!!!)
- i am not using any accel options (httpd_accel_*), all are set to default
values (nothing changed here)
- client_persistent_connections from ON to OFF
- i increased redirect_children from 5 (default) to 50.... Am i wrong?!
With this new settings, i restarted squid and ... no improvements. Its
slower!!!!
At 9.40AM, I have:
