an idea about dual cpus

Our setup is currently consuming 80% of the cpu (average) with regular
peaks to 100%. The machine is not io or network bound. So in an effort
to fix the situation I was thinking about using smp. What does everyone
think about this.

Run 2 squid processes under different config files/log files/etc. Let
them use icp to talk to each other through loopback. Give each process
2 of the 4 disks. This way each squid process will get scheduled on 1
cpu. Of course the overhead of icp may be to inefficient. What do you
think?
