ram usage is not very dependent on the amount of users, more on how you
configure Squid.

There is a whole chapter in the FAQ covering memory usage:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidMemory

Where the most important entry is
How much memory do I need in my Squid server?

[squid-users] Squid performance... RAM or CPU?

2008-07-02 Thread Carlos Alberto Bernat Orozco
Hi group

Thanks for the answer! I like those cases like yours. Any other cases?

Another question. What is the most important component for squid? RAM or CPU?

Why I'm making this question, because when I installed squid for 120
users, the ram went to the sky

But your're mentioning more CPU than RAM as a primary component to look at

Could you explain this?

Thanks in advanced

 On my side, I run Squid on a HP VL420 P4 1.8 or 2.1ghz, 768meg of ram, 20gig 
 Seagate IDE Hard Drive for approximatly 125 users.

 The maximum load, that I got, is .70 (1 minute). My CPU peak sometimes at 40% 
 but most of the time, it's running most of the time at idle. I have a peak 
 time at lunch time and break. My average CPU is approximatly at 5% and peak 
 at 40%. I saw a 50-60% and a load at .90 at the beginning when I had some 
 problem with my Apple computer and the NTLM Auth. (I still had this problem 
 but I did a bypass for my apple computer)

 If I compare with my current setup, for an another 150 users, probably 1-1.5 
 gig of Ram is important and probably changing my Seagate IDE HardDrive for a 
 SCSI 10k-15k rpm U160 or U320.

 Hi group

 I wonder if a debian box with 1Gb RAM could run squid to block child
 porn sites for 600 users aprox.

 Is possible? would be good? a checklist to know the requisites for squid?

 Thanks in advanced
