[squid-users] Performance and tuning on Sparc with Solaris

Hi folks,

I'm going to implement squid on a SUN E450 with Solaris 9. The machine
has 4 x 450MHz processors and 4GB RAM. The expected load will be around
300 req/s at peak and will probably increase over time. So the question
is how to tune E450/Solaris/squid to achive maximum performance. Obvious
things like different disks on different controllers for different
cache_dirs are clear. As squid can't take advantage of multiple
processors I'm thinking of running several instances of squid bound to
different processor to share the load. Is there anybody out there
running a similar setup who could give comments or recommendations?

Thanks,
Frank
