Squid is a single process, and with most "SMP" type multiprocessor machines
it won't benefit. They may benefit in having a processor "just for disk io"
though I doubt that this is much of an improvement.
slf@connect.com.au (Stewart Forster) is running multiprocessor ultrasparcs
very successfully (200 000 hits per hour)
He is running a really modified squid though, but when I last mailed him
he said that he would be submitting the patches to Duane...
