[squid-users] Squid Cache...

Hi,

I understand the fact that cache in fact helps improve speed!

Please let me know if clearing the squid cache will help in eliminating the corrupted cache files & help to improve the proxy performance.

How frequently can the squid cache be cleared? And is it advisable to clear the cache frequently or otherwise to improve performance.?

Regards,

Does anyone have any ideas for this? I'm lost.
The performance is pretty poor for video when using cache_dir.
