Currently I have a testing server running as squid as reverse proxy to
a server web servers, the sites contains a lot of images uploaded by
user storing in NFS and hence now being accelerarted by squid:
The current config of squid is as below:
Intel E5310 Quad Core 1.6Ghz PU x 2
6GB RAM (4GB assi

url rewriters generally do not use a lot of CPU.

Squid is IO and memory bounded, not cpu bounded. Use the CPU money to
buy more RAM/disks

and get yourself a pricelist, the diff between X2 and phenom is irrelevant and

The cpu doesn't do any IO, it's WAITING for the disk most of the
time. If you want fast squid performance, CPU speed/count is
irrelevant; get more disks and ram. When I mean more disk, I mean
more spindles. eg: 2x 100GB will is better than a 200GB disk.

True, but the wattage difference is not irrelevant. For the lifetime of
the server that adds up quite significantly in power and cooling.

So you say aufs is defacto FASTER than diskd?
