I am running Squid on a 4-processor machine. When looking at the Squid statistics I noticed the following:
CPU Usage: 24.20% CPU Usage, 5 minute avg: 77.07% CPU Usage, 60 minute avg: 74.61%
I've never seen the first number go above 25%, so it seems that it takes all four processors in account for calculating the usage. However, the last two seem to use single-processor CPU statistics.
This is quite normal.
The first "CPU Usage:" is the average CPU usage since startup. As this often includes low use times such as nights etc the number is often quite low if your Squid has been running for some time.
The 5 and 60 min av is the CPU usage only during the last 5 resp 60 minutes.
