feedback is great, but I cant imagine that the 200-500 extra disk accesses
per second plus the calls to sprintf are doing anything positive for the
performance. /dev/null will eliminate the physical disk accesses, but not the system
calls or gathering and formatting overhead. It would be nice if you could get
squid to just_do_caching to see what the thing could do without all the
peripheral junk. Plus on a busy system the logs are enormous, about 10GB with 5
rotations.
