Just a multi platform consideration:

Don't forget that such libraries like OpenMP could not be available on
all Squid supported platforms.
As example, on Windows OpenMP is available only using gcc 4.3.2 and
later or MS Visual Studio 2008.
But MSYS + MinGW provides gcc 3.4.5 and the Squid 3 Visual Studio
Project is based on Visual Studio 2005.

So, please, we should be very careful when thinking about Squid MP.
