Squid-2.6 with /dev/poll support (available in Solaris 7 and later) dramatically improves network performance by lowering the CPU requirements. I've been meaning to do it for years but I only (finally!) committed some code a few months ago. All someone has to do now is compile it with --enable-dev-poll under Solaris and check the CPU use. http://squidproxy.wordpress.com/ has my announcement of /dev/poll support in squid-2 and squid-2.6.
