I found this rather old version at: http://www.swelltech.com/pengies/joe/squidtuneup.txt
Is there a newer version available that deals with 2.5 and 2.4 kernel? I realise that alot of the stuff mentioned in this document is still valid for the newer versions, just wondering if there was a more up to date version.

Rule of thumb: if performance sucks, you've got squid misconfigured. Bypassing squid isn't the issue here. I recommend following a tuning guide (say Joe Coopers excellent one), and of you have time polygraphing your resultant squid install, to be sure it can handle a sustained network load roughly equivalent to what your production load will be.
