Hi Ming Fu, thanks for your response.
Just curious, why you prefer polipo instead of squid for such large
number of users?
From
http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/polipo.html#Harvest-and-Squid,
the advantage of polipo over squid is cache partial instance &
pipelining.
The other guess is you use slow/embedded machine for the proxy.
