Re: [squid-users] Squid Maxing Out - Help required

The first thing to do is update to Squid-2.6 at the very least,
perhaps Squid-2.7 when the next STABLE release is made.

The CPU should drop quite dramatically.

Of course, since you're maxing out the LAN interface, you may wish to
also install a GigE adaptor with that.
