So, chatting with Adrian today, and some friends, I have some thoughts about what precisely 3.0 should be. I think 3.0 STABLE1 when release should be: * more functional than 2.6 STABLEX - there should be no regressions in functionality. * within 10-15% of the speed of 2.6 STABLEX.
Does this mean +/- 10-15%? In order to meet the goal we'll need a measurable definition for "speed". I assume that you're thinking along the lines of sustained requests/second within some response time window? Which OS, and which filesystem options?
these two points are the primary things I can think of that will stop people adopting squid-3.0. And what we want is for developers to feel
I would probably put stability ahead of performance, but yes, assuming squid-3 is stable enough then people will expect it to perform at least as well as the old. DW
