Dual-core boxes can offer a whole CPU to Squid while leaving the other for system and other background things which would otherwise compete with Squid for time. As for timing of the cache cleanup; no you can't set particular time-of-day for it. When the overload thresholds kick in they really need to be run right then. The regular maintenance garbaging cycle can be tunned to happen more or less often as suits you. Amos
