The latest.
and less cpu greedy?
Depends on the configuration. But the latest version can again can do
more with less CPU in most situations.
I have installed both both 3.1.19(default Ubuntu repository version) and
3.3.8.
On the same machine with same config and same load(about 60Mbps), I have far
less cpu usage on 3.1.19 than 3.3.8.(10% compared to 99%)
so what is the cause?
Faster request rate in the newer one?
more requests == more CPU use processing them.
Scanning the disk caches?
lots of disk I/O == lots of CPU context switching
Cache garbage collection?
lots of disk I/O == lots of CPU context switching
Those are the only known causes of traffic
There are some features exist in newer versions that I had to move to newer
versions...
Which version of squid is SQUID-USERS preference?
Put another way: is CPU usage enough to make anyone prefer to run a
version with a few hundred known bugs and lack of several major HTTP
features?
We have enough of a cross-section of users that you will get a very
mixed response there.
