[squid-users] Squid but propably off topic?

Hello,

I 'm facing a problem with my Squid proxy server, and I hope maybe of
you can help me. (the problem is maybe not squid related)
I installed Squid 2.5 on a Linux server which is currently live (RH
8.0). This machine is a 2 CPU machine, with 1 GIG RAM, 2 x 100 NIC. (in
fact this are 1G bit cards, but it's currently connected on a 100Mb switch).
And I also installed Squid 2.5 on a HP-UX machine , which I'm testing
now. (HP-UX 11i). This machine has 3 CPU's, and 1x100 NIC. (also 1Gbit card)
(completely the same Squid configuration)

Everything works fine, and Squid itselfs works quite fast. Because we
have a lot of servers in our lan, which doesn't need to use the
'cache_peer', I configured Squid that he goes directly to those machine,
so without the cache_peer.

Now yesterday I did some tests, and I downloaded a file via ftp through
the proxy. (proxy will bypass cache_peer for lan, and I configured Squid).
If I used the Linux Squid proxy , I got a download speed of +/- 300
Kb/s. But If I'm using the HP-UX Squid proxy I get a download speed of
1000 / 1200 Kb/s..

I double check the configuration, and I checked the access.log file, and
Squid not using the cache_peer for that download.
So I don't really understand why the Linux machine is that slow
comparing with the HP-UX.
Does somebody has a clue what I can do to improve this kind of connections?
