Option Name:

sleep_after_fork

Suggested Config:


Details:

When this is set to a non-zero value, the main Squid process
sleeps the specified number of microseconds after a fork()
system call. This sleep may help the situation where your
system reports fork() failures due to lack of (virtual)
memory. Note, however, if you have a lot of child
processes, these sleep delays will add up and your
Squid will not service requests for some amount of time
until all the child processes have been started.
