[squid-users] Performance worse when handling IMS requests?

Hi, is it possible that squid performs worse when handling large
volumes of If-Modified-Since requests instead of normal GET's? I have
two Squid servers running at around 1000 requests per second; the only
difference in the traffic pattern i can discern is that 50% of
requests on one server are IMS requests, which Squid responds to with
304 Not Modified; that server fails a heartbeat test sporadically, but
the other one is fine.

I would think that 304 responses are easier to serve, since Squid just
returns headers -- but i can't find any other difference right now.
Thanks in advance for your help!
