Be aware that epoll is not part of the STABLE squid sources. It's a
devel package that is only available by patching the sources, and
running a bootstrap script. Depending on the load of the cache, it
might not even help much. You might look into changing the cache_dir to
use aufs, but if cache hits are performing well, this also might not
make much of a difference. Given that cache hits are working well, but
cache misses are slow, I would look into the DNS server that Squid is
using, as well as network congestion on the path to internet.
