RE: high CPU usage

   I use FREEBSD 3.3 STABLE(19991110).
  And I also find if our server have 500 tcp/ip(using netstat -n | grep
.3128 | grep EST | wc -l) connection , our system will become very very
slow.
 I've also use TOP to monitor my system , but squid doesnt use many cpu
time(30-50%) , disk I/O only 3-7 %..
  So i don't know what should i need to tune my system or we just need to
add another server.
 could someone give some advise.
 our server is runing PIII 450 , 1GB ram , 100GB(6*16 ultra wide scsi
disk)..

What OS are your using?

Generally speaking turning on async features in the filesystem will
increase Squid performance provided you have some memory to spare.
However the details very much depends on your OS.

As for async-io it very much depends on what OS you are using. Not all
OS:es have posix compatible kernel threads which is a requirement for
Squids async-io implementation, and not all who have does it properly.

async-io is to my knowledge mostly tested on Linux-2.2/glibc2.1 and
Solaris. Some people have reported varying sucess using HP-UX 10.
async-io is surely a no-no on FreeBSD.
