Hi,

That is on a production server, not a Polygraph test. At busiest time: above 140 reqs/sec, using 8Mbit/s, average fds in use is between 3k-4k (50% is user-side and 50% server-side), and CPU usage is about 12% on a P4 2.8Ghz, RAM=2GB (cache_mem 400MB), and 95GB of cache_dir. cache_dir is ufs.
On the same server, squid with select/poll did starve CPU, and the number of open fds never bot bigger than 1600. When I started using epoll, the traffic and the number of concurrent connections did increase. I recommend epoll (at leas on Linux).
Regards,

G
