[squid-users] high cpu load

hello,

I got a problem with cpu load. when loading a single page throught squid
the cpu load goes to 15%. When more people use the cache it even go to
80-90%.

here is what i got as software:

linux-2.2.19
linux-2.2.19-reiserfs-3.5.32-patch
ide.2.2.19.05042001.patch
reiserfsprogs-3.x.0j
squid-2.4.STABLE1

and my hardware:

celeron 667
128 ram
udma100 hdd
asus motherboard
3com eth

and a reiserfs partition ..

/dev/hde6 on /var/spool/squid type reiserfs (rw,noatime,notail)

I don't know where to start looking to find what makes the cpu load so
high. for example when few persons loads some pages in top it looks like
this :

  PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
...
  165 nobody 16 0 86836 84M 1436 S 38.2 67.6 590:13 squid
...

How can find what exactly makes this big cpu load ?
