Squid-2.6 with epoll will easily break 15mbit without a sweat on modern hardware. I've had my test caches pushing 30mbit without any problems and I'm sure others have beaten it. The biggest limitation at the moment is disk throughput. I'm able to hit 30mbit whilst testing out the experimental cyclic FS but its still buggy. There's kqueue() support in Squid-2.6 which is intended for FreeBSD - I'm not sure whether OpenBSD has snarfed the interface yet or not. If it has then you may want to give kqueue a go over poll/select. Adrian
