I set the full debug then checked my cache log. The slow down seems to
be my acl
for example
acl noporn1 url_regex "/usr/local/etc/squid/noporn1"
Which is a file i picked off the web that contains a list of porn sites
about 44318 in total. Silly me :)
So that is not the way to do that i will search out other methods.
