Ah.. yes.. the third cache which show only 3% CPU usage has squid v2.6.
Is this drop in cpu usage due to changes in v2.6?? I'll definitely want to
upgrade to 2.6 now. and one more, what is epoll about ?? configure help
only says "enable epoll() instead of poll() or select(), epoll() is best
where avialable". what does that mean ??
Some work went into Squid-2.6 to improve CPU efficiency but by far the biggest
user of CPU in previous squid versions was the poll/select system calls.
epoll/kqueue are much more efficient than poll/select. Hence why we say
you should use them. :)
Thanks alot for your response adrian. I'll soon be planing the upgrade of
the squids from 2.5 to 2.6.
Good move! Let us know if you have any further trouble.
