the second second cpu won't do much if anything for you as far as squid goes... Even async ufs with logging on another drive won't touch the performance of reiserfs 3 or 4 or jfs on the linux box, though if you're using ext3 currently it may be comparable. more disk spindles would be better than a second cpu. I've never figured out why sun can't manage to get more than two disks in a 1u ultrasparc box. > Any benchmark testing results out there?
