[squid-users] Slow Squid Proxy Server

Hi all,

I think Im having problem with my squid proxy server. To start with my proxy
server is DELL 2850 dual XEON 3.0 Ghz processor 64 bit architecture with 6
GIG om RAM and 5 x 36 GIG of hard drive, the software running is Fedora Core
2 64 bit software and squid 2.5 stable 7. Now here is what I'm
experiencing, using my workstation connected my local proxy and opening the
site yahoo.com and cnn.com here are the result:

http://www.yahoo.com
1st test = 21.6 seconds
2nd test = 4.3 seconds
3rd test = 28.4 seconds
4th test = 2.8 seconds
5th test = 9.7 seconds

http://www.cnn.com
1st test = 57.7 secs
2nd test = 12.3 secs
3rd test = 48.7 secs
4th test = 44.7 secs
5th test = 8.4 secs

Then afterwards I change my workstation to use our ISP's proxy and do the
same test. here are the reults:

http://www.yahoo.co
1st test = 2.2 secs
2nd test = 4.9 secs
3rd test= 4.2 secs
4thtest = 3.9 secs
5th test = 6.8 secs

http://www.cnn.com
1st test =16.7 secs
2nd test = 20.3 secs
3rd test = 12.3 secs
4th test = 11.3 secs
5th test = 16.1 secs

Take note that every after testing Im clearing my workstation cahcing and
all related stored files locally to make sure that my work station is
checking the cache server. Also our Local proxy is configure to check its
parent proxy which is our ISP's Proxy.

Also below im my proxy configuration can any body help me to figure out the
problem? any suggestion or comment is highl appreciated.
