<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve implemented my fair share of squid
proxies over the past couple of years and I’ve always been
able to find a solution in the mail archive, but this time
around I’m stumped. This is the first time I’ve used squid
with a fast (in our context) internet connection, specifically
a 4G connection that the provider claims can run up to
100Mbps. Claims aside, my real-world testing is not what I’m
expecting. I’ve used two squid instances, one on PFsence
(2.7.9) and one on Windows (2.7Stable8) and compared the
throughput to a connection without squid and what I’ve found
is, when testing with <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.speedtest.net">www.speedtest.net</a> the
throughput is roughly half with squid compared to a direct
connection. I’ve left to configuration pretty much default and
have tried to tweak, both without success.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What are the directives that have the most
effect on throughput?<o:p></o:p></p>

Throughput on squid 2.x (plus the linux kernel from that timeframe)
is limited as we recently found out on one of our servers. In the
past with my testing, Windows with cygwin is even further limited.
In our case with a small ISP level 200Mbps connection, the best our
customers could get with their systems was 20Mbps through linux
2.0.x kernel and squid 2.3. <br>
Same server with updated OS (Scientific Linux 6.5 with latest
updates), same connection using compiled squid 3.4.7, typically up
to 4000 customers connecting to it at any given moment, and
customers with 50Mbps connections (some of the fastest home
connection) were seeing less than 20% drop, even spanning across the
entire US.<br>
