Um, folks -- with all due respect to BSD,
and using squid to reverse-proxy, what I
think Rob may have been getting at is this:
1 Mb file, served 12 times/sec.:
1,000,000 x 12 x 8 =~ 100 Mbit/sec. Last
time I checked, a T-3 was approx. 45 Mb/s.
You could be running a Cray, and as long
as your pipe ain't large enough, your pages
are gonna be slow.
