The box is a Dual 2 core ( 4 core total) AMD 275. So I should probably start 4 squids. When I try to start the second one I get: squid -f /etc/squid/squid2.conf 2007/07/02 16:08:03| Squid is already running!

On what kind of server? Squid can only use a single CPU core, so if this is a SMP or multi-core server then you won't be able to fully utilize the CPU with a single Squid instance.. Bug 500 10K requests/s sounds a little low.. Regards Henrik
