Its not like we want to make project bad. Squid was not deployed on
smp before because we did not have shared memory architectures
(multi-cores), also the library support for multi-threading was like
nightmare for people. Now things are changed, it is very easy to
manage threads, people have multi-core machines at their desktops, and
as hardware is available now or later somebody has to try and build
SMP support. think about future.......

To cop with internet speed & increase in number of users, Squid must
use multi-core architecture and distribute its work............
