[SQU] multiprocessor machines

How does Squid behaves on multiprocessor machines? Is it able to really take
advantage of multiple CPUs? Does anyone here have experience with Squid on
multiCPU machines?

Related to this: i understand that Squid doesn't need a lot of CPU power.
So, just as an example, if i have a monoprocessor MIPS R12000 at 300 MHz,
how many HTTP requests per second can i serve with Squid (assuming a *really
fast* I/O system, and lots of memory)? If i will add another CPU, will i get
doubled performance (assuming that the disk subsystem keeps up with the
load)?
Where can i find some Squid benchmarks measured on really fast I/O machines,
with good 64-bit processors? (i'm especially interested in MIPS/SGI, but any
other fast I/O architecture will do)
