Marcos, What OS are you running squid on? According to the Docs, squid cannot take advantage of an SMP kernel but there is a reference about having multiple instances of squid running, However some OS's are very specific on how they handle processes, a little more information about your setup would be helpful Saul -----Original Message----- From: Marcos Camões Bourgeaiseau [mailto:marcoscamoes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 3:21 PM To: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Multi processors I have compiled squid with those options below: squid -v Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE12 configure options: --sysconfdir=/etc/squid --enable-storeio=aufs,coss,diskd,ufs --enable-poll --enable-delay-pools --enable-linux-netfilter --enable-htcp --enable-carp --with-pthreads --enable-underscores --enable-external --enable-arp-acl --with-maxfd=16384 --enable-async-io=50 --enable-snmp It runs in a machine with 4 Itel Xeon processors, but squid no matter how many instances i start, uses only one processor, and my other three processors stay idle.
