Yes. Dual-core boxes can offer a whole CPU to Squid while leaving the
other for system and other background things which would otherwise compete
with Squid for time.

As for timing of the cache cleanup; no you can't set particular
time-of-day for it. When the overload thresholds kick in they really need
to be run right then. The regular maintenance garbaging cycle can be tunned
to happen more or less often as suits you.
