Comparing Squid Filesystem Performance with Web Polygraph
Duane Wessels

Track: Apache Web Server
Date: Thursday, July 25
Time: 4:30pm - 5:15pm
Location: Sea Breeze I

The underlying filesystem is generally Squid's primary performance bottleneck. This talk explains how I've used Web Polygraph to benchmark the performance of Squid under five different operating systems, with numerous filesystem options and Squid storage schemes.
