Guys I'm currently benchmarking Squid, using Web Polygraph, and was wondering at what value to pitch the number of aufs threads. I'm benchmarking at various levels in the 200-500 requests/sec area. I'm using 4 x 8G caches and 2G memory (which I feel should be increased). I upped the default aufs threads to 128 for a 180 user benchmark, with good results. But a 300 user test started giving lots of queue congestion warnings. I increased to 256 and things look better, but still with some congestion warnings.
I understand that going too high with this parameter brings it's own problems. So how do we judge an appropriate number of aufs threads to run with?
