osq_lock is used in the kenel for the implementation of a mutex. It is not clear which mutex so we can only guess. Which version of the kernel and distro do you use? Since mutexes are used by Squid SMP, I suggest to switch for now to Squid non-SMP. What is the value of cpu_affinity_map in all config files? You say they are static. But do you allocate each instance on a different core? Does 'top' show that all CPUs are used? Do you have 24 cores or 12 hyperthreaded cores? In case you have 12 real cores, you might want to experiment with 12 instances of Squid and then try to upscale. Make maximum_object_size large, a max size of 16K will prohibit the retrieval of objects larger than 16K. I am not sure about 'maximum_object_size_in_memory 16 KB' but let it be infinite and do not worry since cache_mem is zero. Marcus On 07/31/2015 03:52 AM, Josip Makarevic wrote:

I cannot find any good info on it and all I've found are bits and peaces of kernel source code. Tnx.

All other caches used by Squid *are* mandatory for good performance.

None of those are Squid functionality. If you want help optimizing your config and are willing to post it to the list I am happy to do a quick audit and point out any problem areas for you. But tuning the internal locking code of the kernel is way off topic.
