hey Markus, thanks for the help..

actually, i had done all u said except the ulimit
setting in the squid start script.. SuSE sets one
already, which is 4096.. all i had to do was to change
that to what i wanted - 16384... and voila.. cache.log
says i am running with 16384 file descriptors...

also, i recompiled the source rpm spec file with
async-io... does this mean that i will have to change
the file system used in cache_dir from ufs to
something else.. if so, which file system..?.. is
there a way i can tell that squid is running in
async-io mode..?..

all help appreciated..
