Squid-3.0 will not improve in this aspect. The hope is that Squid-3.0
will be somewhat faster than Squid-2.5, but it sill will use a single
CPU thread only.
There is much thought going on in how to make Squid SMP scaleable, but
so far all ideas requires rather far going changes to the internals
of Squid, more than what is practically possible in one development
cycle.
The Squid internal design is gradually being refined and cleaned up
however, and it is not unlikely there at some time will be a SMP
capable Squid available, it won't be Squid-3.0 however, and quite
likely not Squid-3.1 either (at least not fully).
The Squid-3.0 release is selected as a middleground, with a whole lot
internal redesign most users won't notice but preparing for the
development of more visible news in later releases, combined with a
reasonable amount of noticeable new features much asked for.
Notice: Very little of the founded work in Squid-3.0 is performance
related. Allmost all is functionality related. The performance
related work and research has been done almost entirely by individual
developers own interest alone.
