Re: Squid on DECUnix (was Stop - Start...)

That would be my gut feeling, but I don't think the gut feeling of one person is
enough to make this sort of decision on. It's quite possible that there are setups
using digital unix that _don't_ experience this problem at all. If so, I'm sure
they'll put their hands up.

Personally, when there's performance issues like this, I prefer to _test_ a setup,
before I commit.

Did you read the documentation AND the FAQ?
If not, I'll probably still answer your question, but my patience will
be limited, and you take the risk of sarcasm and ridicule.
