RE: [squid-users] Dual Processor.

in my opinion, i think that having 2 cpu's is no extra advantage seeing as squid will force the cpu's to argue about locking etc ... due to the squid
disk usage policies.

This might be lending itself to make the cpu's block one another .. ?? any comments?

I wasn't able to find the answer in the FAQ either.... :-(

About the "kernel: NET: XX messages suppressed." I didn't find any other
related messages.. I think is due to heavy load ( > 4000 hosts).

Is there a way to calculate how many cache's I need for our http
service?, is there a rule of thumb?

thanks..
