Just to note that (for us at least :-) the CPU usage by Squid isn't a
problem. For instance, on a 200MHz Pentium Pro box servicing
~1,000,000 combined HTTP and ICP requests per day, we're seeing idle
times in the region of 94%. A little bit more CPU usage might not
hurt, especially if it reduced memory consumption...
