Re: [squid-users] how to calculate the number of threads needed

[MunFai]

Interesting question which I also would like to know the answer.

The default 16 didn't work that well for me, as I had queue congestion 
messages almost every second. The I recompiled it to use 32 threads, and 
right now it seems to be working just fine.

My setup is as follows:
Dell P3 733MHz
1Gb SDRAM with ECC
4x 8Gb 10k RPM disks
cache_mem is configured as 256Mb

Thanks.

So what would be a good guide? 8 per drive? how many
drives did the default 16 base on?

Hi,

how do I derive the number of threads I should use

the async-io?
     

Depends on the number of drives.

More drives can utilize somewhat more I/O threads
than a single 
drive..
