>Squid is 100% one of the systems that tries and succeed on these specific tasks. < A bit too optimistic. I did a lot of assembler programming (incl. device drivers for special HW) for RT-systems (16bit/32bit), using OS, which were especially designed to handle RT-tasks using HW/SW-interrupts. I very doubt, that ANY SW (not only squid) running on LINUX really can be called real-time program. Because it should react during fractions of microseconds to external events. -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/Just-wondering-about-something-tp4660745p4660754.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
