I've been testing quite a few combination so for this I had hyperthreading disabled in the BIOS, and SMP enabled on BSD - so 2 processors. If I enable hyperthreading its 4. I understand that squid would favour only one processor, yet with SMP on it lasts 3x longer. My guess would be that's its be

Hey Emiliano, I have not had much to do with rapidshare, but IFF you can pin down the servers and requests from a given source. You should be able to setup your squid to have a rapidshare server as one of the cache_peer pre-configured with login details and ACL to forward all rapidshare requests

What you may need to do is run the tests at lower req/sec's to find out where its "stable"; or actually run Polmix-4 up properly. Disk caches - UFS to a large extent, COSS somewhat - take a while to reach a 'steady state'. With UFS (which I think you're using here, right?) you end up initially lay
