[squid-users] Question on throughput

[Jacques Kruger]

Thanks Stephen.

If I'm correct I can only adjust the number of workers in Squid3, not in 2.7. I'll check if I've misread the documentation and adjust it if I can.

Regards,

Jacques

On a multi CPU box - the number of Squid workers has a very big effect of the throughput.
