[squid-users] Squid performance... RAM or CPU?

Hi group

Thanks for the answer! I like those cases like yours. Any other cases?

Another question. What is the most important component for squid? RAM or CPU?

Why I'm making this question, because when I installed squid for 120
users, the ram went to the sky....

But your're mentioning more CPU than RAM as a primary component to look at

Could you explain this?

Thanks in advanced

> On my side, I run Squid on a HP VL420 P4 1.8 or 2.1ghz, 768meg of ram, 20gig Seagate IDE Hard Drive for approximatly 125 users.

> The maximum load, that I got, is .70 (1 minute). My CPU peak sometimes at 40% but most of the time, it's running most of the time at idle. I have a peak time at lunch time and break. My average CPU is approximatly at 5% and peak at 40%. I saw a 50-60% and a load at .90 at the beginning when I had some problem with my Apple computer and the NTLM Auth. (I still had this problem but I did a bypass for my apple computer)
