should not ask performance questions.

In case nobody looks for or finds problems in your configuration: What
is the bottleneck? CPU? RAM? Disk I/O? NIC interrupts?

A tool like atop may be able to answer that question for you, especially
if you let it collect stats from before Squid start to the time when the
Squid becomes very slow.
