Hello,
I have made a very puzzling observation, and I would like to know if
somebody else encountered it.
I have two servers: a PIII/1GHz running Solaris 10 with Squid
2.6.something and a new AMD Athlon 64 x2 runing Ubuntu 8.04 alpha and
Squid 3.0.something. Both machines use a third as the local DNS
proxy/cache. The two servers, the DNS server and a workstation are
all connected to a Gigabit switch and all have Intel E1000 gigabit
network cards, with jumbo frames enabled (the switch supports jumbo
frames). The workstation dual-boots between Ubuntu 8.04 alpha and
Windows XP SP2.
When I am browsing from Windows using Firefox 2.0, the speed of page
rendering is the same, regardless of which of the two proxies I use.
When I am browsing from Ubuntu, the proxy on the newer, faster server
seems much more sluggish, and it is getting to be annoyingly slow.
Both servers machines are pretty much idle. Squid is configured with
384 MB of memory cache and 3 GB of disk cache on a reiserfs partition.
There is no other activity in the network at the time.
I have noticed the same problem last year, that was when I moved my
proxy to Solaris since it was unbearable on Linux and I did not have
the time to pursue it. But this time I would like to hunt down the
problem.
Any pointers? Non-null, of course...
Thanks,
florin
