[squid-users] HTTP performance hit with Squid

[SaRaVanAn]

Hi ,
we have been using squid 3.1.20 comes with debian wheezy 7. We could see
there is a peformance hit in http traffic when we use Squid.

For each HTTP GET request coming from client to proxy server, Squid takes
nearly 2 seconds to generate HTTP GET in order to establish a connection
with server.

There is always a ~2 second delay between the request coming to our system
and going out of Squid. Suppose if a page has lot of embedded URL's it's
taking more time with squid in place.Suppose If I disable squid the page
loads very fast in client browser.

What could be the reason? Do I need to tweak any configuration for this?
The first page request always loads slow with Squid.
