hi amos , regarding to the answer "no "

currently , i have a squid server without smp that handle 2500 users and
without slowness , with caching and ,with acl web filtering.

and it only dissipating a few cores in my cpu !!!!

here is a print screen of my DELR720 server which handle wt i said above :
<http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/file/n4663110/584988478.png>

although i made a snapshot in time not considered as rush hour , but u can
indicate that only about 5 core cpus from about 24 cores is running and the
others always idle !!!1

the question is why it cant ????

as we know , squid cant use all cores without smp , but in my opinion , if
server without smp could handle 2500 users , it must handle at least 5000
users with smp

plz clarify !
