Re: [squid-users] Scalability in serving large ammount of concurrent requests

it means they didn't bother investigating the problem and reporting
back to squid-users/squid-dev.

They may find that Squid-2.7 (and my squid-2 fork) perform a ton
better over whatever version they tried.

I'm trying to continue benchmarking my local Squid-2 fork against
simulated "lots of concurrent sessions" but the main problem is
finding free/open tools to simulate "internet" traffic levels.
Polygraph just can't simulate that many concurrent requests at a
decent enough traffic rate without significant equipment investment. I
have this nasty feeling I'm going to have invent my own..
