 HI,

 we have been using varnish for the past few years.

 Recently I observed that few requests are taking longer than expected.
 I am hitting my website say www.abc.com.

 OS: CentOS 5.8
 Linux kernel:  2.6
 Varnish version: 2.1.4-1

 here is the summary of my test:
 1. Send requests one by one to www.abc.com using curl
 2. Measure the time using curl utility
 3. Total requests sent 2000 ; time taken to send them 30-40 seconds
 4. Observartions: most of requests get served within 0.3 seconds and few
 take more than 1 seconds and 2-3 requests take up more than 3 seconds
 5. The requests taking 3 seconds are served from cache as I could see the
 X-varnish headers with 2 numbers.

 Need your help in understanding why it takes 3 seconds to serve from
 cache?

 Thanks
 Sugunakar
