because of

a) Squid's select/poll loop is not very efficient and starts wasting a
lot of CPU when there is a lot of open connections

b) even poll (which is much better than select) has noticeable
scalability issues wasting a lot of CPU when the number of open
connections is large.

The epoll patch addresses both of these if you run on Linux-2.6..
