[squid-users] Squid taking too much CPU

[Atit Jariwala]

Hi All,
 I am using squid 2.5 STABLE 2 on Redhat Linux 2.4.18.
My /proc/cpuinfo is
.....
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
model name  : Pentium III (Coppermine)
cpu MHz         : 701.597
cache size      : 256 KB
.............................

& System Has 128 MB RAM.
This system has very low user load
Normaly 30-50 HTTP Requests/Minute.

When I try to visit following URLs,

http://h30046.www3.hp.com/casestudy.php?topiccode=20030603_OV_APP_QUALITY&searchid=1631775&showpage=1&searchtopiccode=CASESTUDY&pagesite=LARGE&regioncode=NA&langcode=USENG

& many other with simillar pattern to be included in list.

Squid takes more than 90 % CPU Usage,
After serving that CPU Usage comes to normal value.

Can anyone tell what is reason behind it?
