[squid-users] squid to N2H2/Bess performance problem

We have been using squid for a number of years (since about 1999) at the
East Granby, CT, USA school system. We use IE and have IE configured to
point to squid at port 3128. Recently, the state (CT) started to provide
a filtering system for optional use by school districts within the state.
 This filtering is performed by the Bess product at the state data center.
 When filtering is enabled, most web sites perform well. However, certain
web sites (e.g. http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids) perform miserably. It takes
about five minutes to load the page, whereas without filtering, the page
loads almost instantaneously. Also, if I bypass squid for a PC, but pass
through the filtering system, the page loads almost instantaneously.

Can someone suggest an approach to debugging this problem?
