With high latency, squid seems to eat CPU with impunity.

http://mrtg.schoolaccess.net/squid/

~70 requests/sec, ~850KB/sec, nearly 50% CPU on a Xeon 3GHz w/2GB RAM and
very little in the way of ACLs:

Most of the requests to these servers are over satellite (~600ms latency)
through squid2.5Stable7 servers, and that seems to make a huge difference.
FWIW, proxy1 and proxy2 are running RHLinux 9, proxy3 is running FreeBSD
5.2, and has 4GB of RAM. All three are on the same switch, and only a
single router hop (over ethernet) to the fibre. Access to the cache is
limited via a firewall. The MRTG graphs for proxy3 are using combined
statistics for the two squid processes running on it (as it's a dual proc
box). Running top shows that about 2/3rds of squid's CPU usage is "system"
vs. "user" on all three boxes. The select loop takes around 4ms to execute
on all three boxes. *shrug*

Perhaps it's not a issue with squid itself. I'm not too concerned, as it
works well, and overall surfing is faster with squid than without (due to
the on-site caches), and all traffic flows by the filtering servers (due to
the central caches).

At some point in the future, I'm likely going to turn this lot into a LVS,
with a pair of smaller (cheaper) boxes acting as a redundant front-end
controller.
