The answer to that question is dependant on a whole host of variables, such as ACLs used, whether it's a proxy or an accelerator, the types of clients accessing it (client latency has a dramatic effect on CPU usage), types of content retrieved, how your cache_dirs are defined, etc. Various things that can reduce Squid performance: * regex based ACLs * High latency clients * blocking cache_dir configuration (e.g. using "ufs" instead of "aufs" or "diskd") * Anti-virus scanning * Slow authentication back ends If none of these issues covers your problem, you might look into "experimental" solutions such as the epoll patch (http://devel.squid-cache.org/projects.html#epoll).
