[squid-users] Squid Degrading

[ngtech1ltd at gmail.com]

Hey Alex,

Do you think an ubuntu "squid" binary would be fit for such a use case?
IE replacing only the /usr/sbin/squid binary from another source?

For my simple usage (A simple forward proxy) on Ubuntu I am installing squid from the repo
and then just replace the squid binary.

I remember that there was someone that maintains squid repo for Ubuntu and maybe Debian but
I don't remember who it was.
Maybe it was it Raphael from diladele?

Thanks,
Eliezer

We can stop here. Please upgrade to Squid v5.7 or later. Squid v5.2 is 
just too buggy to be usable in most production environments (and to 
investigate any performance problems).

There are known Squid v5.2 bugs that may result in the above warnings 
and related performance degradation. I hope that these problems will be 
gone, and your Squid performance will be acceptable after you upgrade.


Good luck,

Alex.
