[squid-users] Need your expert help on SquidNT - thank you very much in advance

hey you guys, I know that you are not obligated to help me solve my
problems. I have gone through the internet and did not manage to find
anything that can solve my problem, My Squidnt is running very slowly and
it seems that only one thread is working instead of the default 4.
I have a 2 tier proxy - one internal proxy that points to a parent cache.
The parent is on the DMZ that gets connection to the internet. Both are
Pentium 4 dual cpus machine with 512M ram running Win2K sp2. Below please
find my config files for both the 2 proxies. Your expertise is very very
much appreciated.
My question is how can I improve performance ? How can I use more thread
instead of only one now?
