Set performance-related directives
The following directives significantly affect the performance of the proxy server process:
- PureProxy -- Disable a dedicated proxy. This feature improves system performance by
completely disabling caching.
- ProxyPersistence -- Allow persistent connections. This feature enables clients and servers
to maintain open connections. Persistent connections decrease the lag time
for requests for documents from the proxy server, but require increased network
bandwidth as well as a dedicated server thread for each connection. Do not
allow persistent connections if your setup limits the number of available
threads.
The following Configuration and Administration form fields edit the values of the associated directives:
- Proxy Configuration -> Proxy Performance:
Run as a pure proxy
- Proxy Configuration -> Proxy Performance:
Allow persistent connections
