Hiya everyone, Over the last two years I've received a few emails, here and there, hinting at optimisations various people have done to squid-2.5 to make it run "faster". I'd like to start implementing some of these, if they're not too intrusive, into squid-2.5 just to try and keep it reasonably useful whilst others hammer on -3 and also so we have a list of places to look and things to keep in mind when -3 is stable.
You don't have to post them publicly, I'm quite happy to summarise what I receive here. One thing I remember, but I can't find in my current mailbox, was an email someone sent a while ago outlining that reducing the number of s*printf()s in the store IO path helped reduce CPU usage. What other suggestions do y'all have? (FYI: I'm looking at this now because we're pushing squid-2.5 reasonably hard here at UWA and I'd like to keep running it in the future. I can get project time on the proxy if I have some clear goals with useful/measurable results.) Adrian
