Without knowing the exact specifics, I would guess that its the security server.

Some questions for you:

* what version of fw-1 are you using ?
* are you utilizing UFP caching and if so which type (1 request, 2 request, etc)..
* how many users do you have pumping through your Firewall and/or what are your peak numbers for HTTP requests per second ?

* is the Firewalls CPU high during load times ? How about the Websense box ?

A simple way to check what it is that is causing the slowdown is to either look at the CPU resources on the Firewall during peak times (if its high, especially in.ahttpd) then its the HTTP sec. server. You also could try putting a sample UFP wildcard resource. This will also tell you if its the Firewall or Websense.

In general running multiple HTTP security servers and turning on UFP caching will enhance performance greatly.

Yes Websense is rated the best also there is
SurfControl and Xstop .
I am just finished setting up Websense and FW-1 NG
FP2, solaris 8, and Websense running on Win2k sp3
(70gb hdd, 256 mb ram and PIII 800 MHZ) and I have a
issue of slow browsing when users go through websense.
If  remove the websense rule and allow them to browse
the pages load super fast. (eg www.apple.com load in 5
-8 seconds complete)
with websense the pages take a real long to begin to
load (noticably delay like 5-8 seconds before anything
comes up ) then page may load half way and just stop
for no reason.

I want to know what I can do to increase browsing
proformance. is it an issue on the firewall or if it
is websense
Thanks in advance
