The example proxy given has a request rate of about 100 req/s max, if I
understand the graphs correctly. How does COSS hold when the request rate
is significantly higher? I run a proxy that currently seems to peak around
420 req/s (and has an average rate of about 300 req/s during office
hours), and am currently using aufs. Mbps peakrate is about 25/30 Mbps.
Anything that can improve the proxy performance even more is wanted, since
I have the feeling that currently the proxy is hitting its upper limits.
