Experimental results:

old style: 10 - 15 % CPU usage for a 100 MB file transfer
new style: 0.1 - 05 % CPU usage for the same transfer
The CPU was a 1.6 GHz P4
The test was done using MS Visual Studio C++ 6.0, a very bad C++ compiler.
Now the development is made with Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 (The only MS C++
compiler able to compile Squid 3.0 ....)
Really I don't know if it was a compiler "optimization" problem.

Not sure to understand: How you find the right socket handle into the
squid_fd_table ? with a for loop search ?

Sorry, but I can't understand this last question.

OT: Evgeny, Do you can take a look into this OS/2 bugzilla ?
