      I just installed HAVP on my pfSense 2.0 box.  It's a 3GHz Pentium D with 3GB of ram.  It's running squid and squidguard in transparent mode.

      Now that I've installed HAVP, Youtube has slowed to a crawl.  It takes forever to load the videos.  Web pages seem unaffected.  I looked at the System Activity and RRD graphs and can't seem to find anything that would be causing a bottleneck.  I even enabled the ramdisk, but that doesn't see to have helped.

      Anybody have any ideas?

        You can reduce the scanning file size down to 500K and youtube loads in a few seconds. As you set it higher, the slower it will become. Mine was set to 1000K and it's bearable.

          But what's causing it to be so slow?  I'm not seeing any cpu spikes.  And there's plenty of memory, plus I'm using the ramdisk.
