It is my understanding that Squid is implemented as a single process with
its own internal state machine/executive to manage its activity.
Under BSD/OS 4.x, Squid's apparent performce improved dramatically on
multi-processor systems. The observed performance improvement on the dual-
and quad-processor systems that we have is more a function of how well the
OS manages its resources and activities in an SMP environment.
While we do have a few Linux systems, we tend to use BSD/OS where the
leather meets the road. This is probably more a function of two decades of
experience with the Berkeley Software Distribution from CSRG and BSDi.
