In the meantime, seems that squid2 may be optimized a little, simply by avoiding expensive memset calls from memPoolFree. I've filed a bug for this enhancement: http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=2137 My test need verification, as my squid box was not a dedicated on (actually I run it on my desktop PC). I've tested only under Linux. Regards, -- Gonzalo A. Arana
