12 months away on my draft Squid-2 roadmap, if there was enough commercial
interest. Thing is, the Squid internals are very horrible for SMP (both 2 and 3)
and the list of stuff that I've put into the squid-2 roadmap is what I think
is the minimum amount of work required before really starting to take advantage
