I 100% agree with your comments. I agree 100% that Squid needs to be made scalable on multi-core boxes. Writing threaded code may be easier now than in the past, but the ways of screwing stability, debuggability, performance and such -haven't- changed.. This is what I'm trying to get across. :) Adrian
