[squid-users] measuring latency of squid in different scenarios

[Mike Rumph]

Hello Rafal,

I have run some performance tests with WRK for Squid running as a proxy to
a backend Apache httpd server.
This gives an example of latency measurements for Squid.

Maybe this will be useful for you.

Thanks,

Mike Rumph
