Patched Squid (second table, second column) shows 19% difference (). Is 19% difference perfect? No. A better patch or a kernel fix would be needed to improve the balance further IMO. > does from you result , mean that we cant have full load core distribution ? Due to regular traffic variations (see Amos' response for details), the difference is unlikely to become zero, if that is what you mean by "full load core distribution". Please also note that the first column in the second table (patched Squid) shows instantaneous CPU core utilization and is not expected to show similar numbers for workers. Hope this clarifies, Alex.
