Ah, great.

(Where can I read about meaning of these? I have scanned through
vcl(7), varnishd(1) and the FAQ).

Hm. I think I have done something wrong, because that made it worse:

 $ time wget -S http://www.koldfront.dk/stats/

            => `index.html'

The modified vcl.conf I was using looks like this:

 # This is a basic vcl.conf file for varnish.
 # Modifying this file should be where you store your modifications to
 # varnish. Settnigs here will override defaults.

 backend default {
         set backend.host = "127.0.0.1";
         set backend.port = "8080";       
 }

 sub vcl_recv {
         if (req.http.authorization) {
 #               pass;
                 pipe;
         }

         if (req.request == "POST") {
                 pipe;
         }

         # force lookup even when cookies are present
         #if (req.request == "GET" && req.http.cookie) {
         #        lookup;
         #}
 }

 sub vcl_fetch {
         if (resp.http.www-authenticate) {
 #               pass;
                 pipe;
         }

         # force minimum ttl of 180 seconds
         if (obj.ttl < 180s) {
                 set obj.ttl = 180s;
         }
 }


I will check out from svn and give that a spin...


  Best regards,
