            It's not necessarily anything to do with Squid, but possibly something else. At some point a Dev will no doubt be along to help you diagnose what's wrong with your install.

                  Reinstall squid. I made a change yesterday that will considerably speed it up on systems with a sizable cache.

                  It had been doing a recursive chown/chgrp on everything in the cache, which wasn't really needed and took a l-o-n-g time on systems with large caches.

                      That's all up to you and your environment. If you have a very large hdd, you could have a very large squid cache :-)
