Hello Alex ,
Thanks for your reply ,
I thought as long as squid is only as forward proxy only and no https , we may disable some built in squid features that is not required in my purpose for getting lower CPU consumption such as use minimum
squid functions .
We don’t have any bottleneck in squid .
The only issue is when there is a very high traffic that will use the CPU at higher scale .
So my only goal is decrease squid CPU consumption as much as I can .
So I build local dns server to fasten the lookup , but still don’t see any rich topics online for my goal .
Thanks

I do not recall any _major_ changes in that area, but the http_port
worker-queues option may be of interest to those looking for performance
optimizations.

YMMV, but I would start by using (the right number of) SMP workers with
cpu_affinity_map and worker-queues. More on that at
https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/SmpScale#How_to_configure_SMP_Squid_for_top_performance.3F
Beyond that, one would have to analyze your Squid performance to find
out performance bottleneck(s) and then try to eliminate them or reduce
their impact.

Disabling persistent connections will make things _worse_ in many cases
but YMMV. Whether cache_dirs (and even shared memory cache) slow down or
speed up an average response depends on your environment -- measure and
adjust/remove accordingly.
HTH,
Alex.
