Why both?

What hardware are you using for that sort of traffic flow?

How are you generating "40 mb/s traffic"?  I'm assuming that your Internet 
connection is 6Gbps as stated above, so how are you restricting this down to 
40Mbps for testing?

Numbers please.

Is the direct traffic still being routed through the Squid server (you say 
you're using tproxy, so I assume this is an intercept machine with the traffic 
going through it between client and server)?

Arrival time where?  From the origin server to Squid?  From Squid to the 
client?  What are you actually measuring?

Please be more specific - what did you measure and what does "OK" mean?

Did you compare with and without Squid in place to see what differs?

That description is too vague to know exactly what you were measuring and what 
results you got.

Details?

Firstly, please define "slow" - do you mean it takes a long time for new web 
pages / images / etc to appear (but once they start, they arrive quickly), or 
do you mean that a continuous stream of data (a "download") arrives more 
slowly when going through Squid than going direct (and if so, what are the 
different speeds)?

Secondly, what are you trying to achieve with Squid - what is its purpose in 
your network?

Please help us - give us more details about the hardware you're running this 
on, the version of Squid you're using, what WCCP routing / filtering you're 
doing, the measurements you've made and the results you got.

Antony.
