for a project i'm starting i need to find any information about the use of Async IO in squid. Is there any comparison of this model against others (prefork, pre-threading, etc)l
The C10K page is a great resouce for this question and explains the different I/O models in detail.

Squid is using the traditional select/poll non-blocking I/O model, with support for level triggered epoll and kqueue emerging in Squid-3.
