Grab 10 minutes of data from access.log

run your preferred log statistics program on the extracted access.log.

Ok. I'll do that.

Indeed.

I would start with 20 since you are today using 5 and your Squid complains
a lot. Then use cachemgr to see if this number is sane during peak load
(the last helper should only be used occationally)

I put 15. If It uses the last helper a lot, I'll increase this number.

Yes, of course it will.

Squid can only use one processor to start with, so unless you are also
running other CPU intensive operations on the same box the second CPU will
be virtually unused.
I have another HP PROLIANT DL380 with just one processor. I'll use that server. Thanks a lot.

Thank you,
