I saw your other post, William, but I admit that I didn't understand your configuration. Specifically, if you are using the HTTP/S Proxy, how is the Astaro DNS configured?

Carlos, someone posted recently that they solved their speed problem by unchecking 'Use forwarders assigned by ISP' on the 'Forwarders' tab of 'Network Services >> DNS'. Could you try that and post your results?
Cheers - Bob
PS If you aren't already using OpenDNS, you might replace your ISP's forwarders with OpenDNS: 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222.

I'd thought of that, but they are gigabit... and its not like I'm asking to push 500Mbits through.... just 20 or whatever my cable connection will give me.... and they work just fine when the proxy is off.
I guess I was hoping to hear back from someone else with similar specs on their box what their performance hit is with the proxy on. I don't even really need it to do content filtering or AV. I was mainly wanting to use it for caching.
I did some more testing today and the 100MB test file at cachefly.com comes in at 1.6-2.2MB/sec with the proxy off and 500KB/sec with it on.
CPU never goes above 9%
But I can get two separate files from two separate servers at 500KB/sec with the proxy on.....

I've had similar issue.
(550 users)
I have tried all sort of playing around with the DNS (Including "Use forwarders assigned by ISP" and including changing my ISP DNS
I have to say I couldn't find anything that improves dramatically the situation.
The only thing that helped was to stop the HTTP Caching and the anti virus scanning.
