Re: Performance profiling

Looks very interesting and informative. When do you plan to have a
patch
for squid-1.1.17? We have a squidcito (small squid .-) cache
instalation
here in beautiful Veracruz averageing 6000 hits per hour only on the
most
loaded machine, but if you are interested we would be happy to
participate
If our national telephone monopoly TELMEX doesn't begin to understand
that
we aren't competition and shut us down ( they'd like "up" better :-)
first.
If anyone is interested it's at http://telmex.mexcom.net.mx.

Look forward to you answer and applying the patches to 1.1.17.
