It wouldn't give Squid much of a performance benefit considering the codebase and how we do IO. Lighttpd currently implements its disk IO using a blocking method. If they wanted to change to async they'd probably have to drop the sendfile() support. (Or, really, send someone on a trip to implement some slightly better kernel interfaces for async disk/network IO.) Adrian
